High-performance flexible yellow-sheathed power reeling and trailing cables are purpose-built for mobile equipment power supply via cable drums or cable trailing systems — where the international safety standard colour yellow identifies the cable as a portable or trailing power supply to warn personnel of the live cable risk. The yellow neoprene or rubber sheath provides the high visibility required for safety on busy construction sites, quarries, surface mines, and outdoor industrial facilities.
Constructed with extra-fine-wire Class 6 copper conductors, rubber core insulation, and a robust yellow neoprene or SHF1 rubber outer sheath. Rated 0.6/1 kV; 3 to 4 cores; cross-sections 4 mm² to 185 mm²; temperature range ‑40°C to +90°C. Designed for mobile plant, track-mounted equipment, and cable reel systems operating in wet, muddy, and chemically contaminated environments.

Yellow trailing cable sheaths are mandated by IEC 60245-4 and equivalent national standards for portable power supply cables on construction sites and in quarrying operations to ensure visibility and hazard identification. Some projects additionally require ATEX or mining-standard variants — confirm compliance requirements at the specification stage.
Reeling cable is designed for motor-driven drum operation with tensile and compressive loads. Trailing cable is designed for ground-dragging with abrasion and impact loads but no systematic tensile stress. Specify your application type at ordering to ensure the correct construction is supplied.
