Mining cables are specialized cables designed for use in harsh underground environments such as coal mines and metal mines. These flame-retardant, flexible, and high-strength cables are widely used for powering and connecting underground equipment like shearers, conveyors, drilling machines, underground substations, communication, and lighting systems.
Built with safety and durability in mind, all mining cables must be certified by the National Center for Safety Mark of Mining Products (MA certification) and comply with stringent flame-retardancy and mechanical performance standards.
Our mining cables comply with the following international and national standards:
GB/T12972-2008 – Rubber Sheathed Flexible Cables for Mining
MT818-2009 – Flame-Retardant Cables for Coal Mines
IEC, BS, DIN, UL standards are also available upon request for export orders
300/500V, 380/660V, 660/1140V, 1.9/3.3kV, 3.6/6kV, 6/10kV, 8.7/10kV
Temperature Resistance: Max operating temperature 65°C to 90°C
Low Temperature Flexibility: Operable in -35°C environments
Small Bending Radius: As low as 6× cable outer diameter
Reinforced Structure: Strong anti-abrasion and anti-torsion design for frequent movement
Enhanced Flame Retardancy: Self-extinguishing after fire source removal
Color-coded Outer Sheath: For quick voltage level identification underground
