The RHEYFIRM(RTS) R-(N)TSCGEWTOEUS features a sophisticated multi-layer construction optimized for the demanding requirements of medium-voltage reeling applications. The cable cross-section reveals a carefully engineered arrangement where three power cores are combined with earth/pilot conductors, control circuits, and optional fiber optic elements-all contained within a single robust assembly. The hybrid cable variant (shown in the images) demonstrates the integration capability where power transmission (e.g., 3×120 mm² + 3×70/3 mm²) coexists with communication systems in a unified design.
Motor RTS R-(N)TSCGEWTOEUS Cable Desgin Feature
The Motor RTS R-(N)TSCGEWTOEUS cable represents the pinnacle of medium-voltage reeling cable technology, engineered specifically for demanding industrial applications where power transmission, control signals, and fiber optic communication must be integrated into a single, highly flexible cable assembly.

Comparison and references
Differences between (N)TSCGEWTOEU and R-(N)TSCGEWTOEU?

- (N)TSCGEWTOEU and R-(N)TSCGEWTOEU are both heavy-duty rubber cables for industrial and mining use, yet they differ notably in structure and application.
- The standard (N)TSCGEWTOEU is designed for general mobile power transmission on machinery, featuring robust rubber insulation and sheath to resist abrasion, oil and outdoor weather. It works well for stationary or occasionally moving equipment in mines, construction sites and industrial plants.
- R-(N)TSCGEWTOEU adds an enhanced reinforced structure marked by the prefix “R”. This version has extra tensile and anti-twist components inside, making it suitable for frequent rolling, dragging and continuous bending. It withstands long-term tension and mechanical stress far better.
- In short, the regular type fits light mobile use, while the R variant is engineered for harsh working conditions with constant movement and heavy mechanical loads.

Quality Assurance
Testing at every stage in our own workshop and laboratory, from incoming copper to the packed drum.

Raw Material Inspection
Every batch of copper rod, rubber compound and reinforcing material is checked before it reaches the line.
- Copper: conductor resistance, elongation and surface condition on incoming rod and drawn wire
- EPR, CPE, PUR and silicone compounds: hardness, tensile strength, elongation and ageing samples from each mix
- Suppliers and batch numbers are recorded so every drum can be traced back to its materials

Manufacturing Process Control
Stranding, insulation extrusion, core assembly and sheathing run under recorded process parameters.
- Class 5/6 stranding with lay length and tension monitored for trailing and reeling flexibility
- Continuous-vulcanisation extrusion with wall thickness and spark tests logged on every length
- Operators sign off each stage before the cable moves to the next machine

Electrical Testing
Finished lengths go through the routine tests required by the referenced VDE, ICEA, IEC or NEK standard.
- Conductor resistance and insulation resistance on every length
- Voltage withstand (3.5 kV and higher) and partial-discharge measurement in the shielded HV laboratory
- Screen and pilot-core continuity checks for mining and reeling constructions

Mechanical and Ageing Tests
Samples from production are tested for the duty a mining, crane or submersible cable will actually see.
- Tensile strength and elongation of insulation and sheath before and after ageing
- Hot-set, ozone, oil-immersion and low-temperature bending tests
- Constant-temperature water bath for insulation resistance of submersible constructions

Flame Test and Final Inspection
Before packing, the cable is checked against the order and the flame-performance requirement of its standard.
- Single-cable vertical flame test to IEC 60332-1-2 where specified
- Metre marking, printing, drum length and appearance inspection
- Test report and packing list issued with every shipment
