SIA GL Cable is a marine and shipboard cable designation used for vessel electrical distribution and equipment connections. The exact SIA GL construction depends on conductor count, voltage, insulation system, sheath, armour or screen and classification requirements. TEBAOFLEX can review the vessel specification and supply a matching construction for marine routing, control or power duties.
Application & Features
Selection overview
Marine switchboards, shipboard distribution, control panels, machinery rooms, deck equipment and offshore electrical systems. Confirm classification society, fire performance, smoke/halogen limits and water exposure before selection.

Standards & References
Applicable standards
SIA GL is a designation requiring project documentation. Confirm the governing shipboard specification, classification society approval and test standards for the exact cable.
Construction
Material and build-up
- Conductor: Copper conductor; size and flexibility selected for circuit current and installation
- Insulation: Marine-rated thermoset or thermoplastic system as specified
- Screen/armour: Optional screen, braid or armour where EMC or mechanical protection is required
- Sheath: Marine low-smoke, flame-retardant or oil-resistant compound as required

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
