FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

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

What does the Russian Cyrillic cable code КУГВШ (KUGVSh) stand for?
'К' = control cable (Кабель контрольный), 'У' = for control and monitoring circuits (Управления), 'Г' = flexible Class 5 copper conductors (Гибкий), 'В' = PVC insulation (Винилитовая изоляция), and 'Ш' = thickened protective PVC hose outer sheath (Шланговая оболочка) for underground mining conditions.
How does the counting-pair colour code work inside multi-core KUGVSh cables?
Instead of printing tiny numbers on every core, each concentric layer in KUGVSh contains two adjacent differently coloured 'counting cores' (directional pair, typically red and blue). Technicians count clockwise or counter-clockwise from the red-to-blue reference pair to identify any core number instantly in dim underground galleries.
Why does KUGVSh use a 'hose' ('Ш') outer jacket rather than a standard pressure-extruded jacket?
A thickened tubular hose sheath slipped over a PET separator tape allows the inner core layers to shift without kinking when the cable is flexed around longwall roof supports, while providing extra wall thickness against rock falls and mine-water abrasion.
Can KUGVSh be supplied with a blue outer sheath for intrinsically safe (Ex i) mine circuits?
Yes. KUGVSh is available with a jet-black, high-visibility yellow, or intrinsically safe sky-blue outer hose jacket for underground methane monitoring, conveyor pull-cord switches, and mine telephone/intercom systems.
