Application fit

Is PNCT / 2PNCT / 3PNCT right for your machine?

Select the JIS C 3327 series to match the mechanical severity of your installation: 2PNCT for general mobile feeds and crane festoons, or 3PNCT with a reinforcing cord layer between inner and outer chloroprene sheaths for carrier drums, horizontal reels and rough ground trailing.

Festoon & line chain

Suitable

Overhead crane curtain festoons, carrier drums and hoist loops using 2PNCT or 3PNCT at ≥ 6–10 × OD bending radius.

Trailing & towing

Suitable

Heavy civil engineering machines, tunnelling jumbos, port hoppers, welders and temporary site power.

Motorised monospiral reel

With conditions

Use 3PNCT (with reinforced sheath layer) or F-type travelling cabtyre at ≥ 10 × OD on horizontal reels and carrier drums.

Energy chain / drag chain

With conditions

Carrier-type 2PNCT / 3PNCT with solid rubber filler is used in heavy steel drag chains at ≥ 6–10 × OD.

Vertical / spreader reel

Not suitable

Vertical spreader reels or tensile loads above 19.8 N/mm² require a special steel-wire-reinforced travelling design.

Use RXX / RXX-D vertical reeling cable

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

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

What is the difference between 1PNCT (PNCT), 2PNCT and 3PNCT under JIS C 3327?

All three are 600 V chloroprene-sheathed cabtyre cables to JIS C 3327. Classic 1PNCT uses natural/SBR rubber insulation (+60 °C), whereas 2PNCT and 3PNCT upgrade the core insulation to ethylene-propylene (EP) rubber rated at +80 °C (230 °C short-circuit). 2PNCT is the Class 2 single-sheath heavy-duty construction, while 3PNCT is the Class 3 extra-heavy construction with thicker insulation and a synthetic reinforcing cord layer between inner and outer chloroprene sheaths.

Why do JIS C 3327 cabtyre cables use nominal cross-sections like 1.25, 2, 3.5, 5.5, 8, 14, 22 and 38 mm²?

Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS C 3152 and JIS C 3327) define conductor sizes using Japanese circular-mil-derived metric steps (0.75, 1.25, 2, 3.5, 5.5, 8, 14, 22, 38, 60, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 325 mm²) rather than the IEC 60228 series (1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 10, 16, 25, 35 mm²). Check the electrical table for exact stranding (No./mm) and JCS 0168 current ratings.

When should I specify 3PNCT instead of 2PNCT?

Specify 2PNCT for crane curtain festoons, indoor/outdoor mobile machinery, welders and multi-core control loops (5 to 30 cores). Specify 3PNCT when the cable runs on horizontal cable reels, carrier drums, tunnelling jumbos or rough quarry ground where high radial crush, tear and squeezing forces act on the sheath.

How are cores identified in JIS C 3327 2PNCT and 3PNCT cables?

Unlike European HD 308 cables, JIS C 3327 uses black and white for 2-core cables; black, white and red for 3-core cables; black, white, red and green for 4-core cables; plus yellow (5-core) and blue (6-core). Cables with 7 or more control cores use a 6-colour tracer system or numbered identification tapes.

Is a screened version of 2PNCT available for VFD or noisy signal environments?

Yes. Both 2PNCT and 3PNCT can be manufactured with an overall tinned annealed copper wire braid screen over the laid-up cores (designated 2PNCT-SB) to shield control and instrumentation circuits against electromagnetic interference.
