Optimized Low Voltage Reeling Cable (N)SHTÖU-J 0.6/1 kV Flexible VDE 0250 Power Cable for Festoon & Monospiral Systems
Product Overview
The (N)SHTÖU-J low voltage power cable is a high-performance flexible reeling cable designed in accordance with VDE 0250 standards. Engineered for demanding dynamic applications, it is particularly suitable for reeling end-feed systems, monospiral drum operations, and festoon systems, where continuous movement, torsional stress, and mechanical loads are present.
This cable family includes multiple construction variants such as:
(N)SHTÖU-J
(N)SHTÖU-JK (enhanced temperature performance)
(N)SHTÖU-JZ / -JZK (number-coded cores)
Reduced halogen and low toxicity versions (on request)
Designed with reduced outer dimensions, this cable can be safely laid on the ground while maintaining excellent flexibility and durability in high-speed handling systems.
