Application fit

Is 2YSLGCGÖU right for your machine?

Select 2YSLGCGÖU where long-distance sensor telemetry, serial fieldbus, or VFD control signals must traverse high-EMI mining roadways, TBM umbilicals, or open-cast excavators.

Mine roadway & tunnel wall hangers

Suitable

Heavy 5GM3 PCP outer sheath withstands rock abrasion, mine water, hydraulic oil, and trailing mechanical abuse in harsh mine duty.

TBM gantry & advancing tunnel reel

Suitable

Low-dielectric-loss 2Y polyethylene insulation (εr ≈ 2.3) prevents pulse rounding and capacitive voltage drop on long TBM/conveyor runs.

VFD inverter to AC motor screened feeder

Suitable

Dual 'GCG' screening (semiconductive rubber layer + ≥ 80 % tinned copper braid) provides superior transfer impedance from kHz to MHz.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What does the German VDE designation 2YSLGCGÖU mean?
'2Y' = low-capacitance polyethylene core insulation, 'SL' = fine-stranded control cable (Steuerleitung), 'G' = elastomer inner sheath, 'C' = semiconductive screen layer, 'G' = braided tinned copper wire screen, 'Ö' = oil-resistant polychloroprene outer sheath, and 'U' = flame-retardant.
Why use 2Y polyethylene core insulation inside a rubber mining cable?
Standard EPR or PVC control cables have high dielectric constant (εr ≈ 3.2–5.0), causing high mutual capacitance (150–220 nF/km) that distorts digital encoder pulses and RS-485/Profibus signals over long conveyor or TBM runs. 2Y polyethylene lowers capacitance to ~70–85 nF/km while the outer 5GM3 rubber jacket provides full mining ruggedness.
What is the role of the conductive rubber layer ('C') beneath the copper braid?
Combining a semiconductive elastomer layer with a tinned copper wire braid creates a gap-free electrostatic screen while maintaining mechanical flexibility and low transfer impedance across both low and high frequencies.
Can 2YSLGCGÖU be used on open-cast mining machinery under DIN VDE 0168?
Yes. Its heavy 5GM3 polychloroprene outer sheath and double EMC screen make it standard for PLC I/O, encoder, and telemetry harnesses on bucket-wheel excavators, stacker-reclaimers, and tunnel boring machines.
