Festoon & line chain
Primary duty: high-speed motorized STS, RMG and overhead crane festoon trolleys up to 240 m/min.
Product
Heavy-duty 24-fiber halogen-free PUR festoon cable (FESTOON PUR FO 2×12/125) for high-speed container cranes and automated gantries up to 240 m/min, available in E9/125, G50/125 and G62.5/125 with 1,500 N dynamic tensile strength.
Typical values for this cable type, based on ITU-T G.652.D / IEC 60793 — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
FESTOON PUR FO 2×12/125 houses two 12-fiber buffer tubes and dummy filler elements stranded in short lay inside a dielectric multifilament braid and black matt halogen-free PUR jacket, giving complete immunity to electromagnetic interference alongside HV/VFD crane feeders.
Primary duty: high-speed motorized STS, RMG and overhead crane festoon trolleys up to 240 m/min.
Suitable for crane and gantry energy chains at ≥ 150 mm bending radius.
For motorized reeling drums with higher dynamic pull (2,000 N), use the 5GM5 rubber-sheathed reeling version.
Use CRANE FO 2×12 Rubber for cable reelsUse dedicated vertical spreader optical/composite cables for gravity basket drop.
Use Spreader FO for vertical basketsConstruction
Shown: FESTOON PUR FO 2×12 E9/125 — two 12-fiber colour-coded buffer tubes (yellow and red) stranded with synthetic strain-relief fillers, separating tape, non-hygroscopic multifilament braid and black matt halogen-free PUR outer sheath.
