The PRYSMIAN Cordaflex® (N)SHTÖU (SMK)-V is the most configuration-diverse vertical spreader cable without fiber optics — offering six distinct configurations that span three fundamentally different spreader architecture types. Where the (SMK)-V-S offers a single 36×2.5 configuration and the REEL XPRT offers four standard configurations, the (SMK)-V delivers six configurations including two that exist nowhere else in the Klaus Faber catalogue: a 49×1.0 signal-only variant for spreaders with dedicated power cables, and a 20×2.5+3×CAN-BUS+2×(2×2.5)C variant with integrated digital fieldbus communication and screened control pairs.

Not every STS crane needs ETFE insulation, 56 cores, or integrated fiber optics. The vast majority of the world's operational STS crane fleet — thousands of cranes at hundreds of terminals — uses a simple, proven, 36-core control cable on the spreader reel. That cable is the Cordaflex® (N)SHTOEU (SMK)-V-S: a single-configuration workhorse with basic EPR insulation that every port electrician can strip and terminate using standard tools, a 36×2.5 + protective conductor core count that covers the circuit requirements of standard (non-automated) spreaders, and a construction that shares the premium vertical-rated architecture (Class FS, aramide, PCP rubber, ±50°/m torsion) of its more exotic siblings.

SPREADERFLEX REEL XPRT (N)SHTOEU is the copper-only counterpart of the Cordaflex (SMK)-V-FO — sharing the same Class FS conductors, aramide self-supporting element, PCP rubber sheath, and 240 m/min vertical reeling capability, but without integrated fiber optics. It is designed for the large installed base of STS crane spreaders that do not require fiber optic communication — spreaders using copper-only control signals, or cranes where fiber optic data is provided through a separate dedicated cable or wireless link.

URSUS® VS PLUS is a fundamentally different cable from the TRATOSLIGHT vertical reeling family. Where TRATOSLIGHT cables are optimised for high-speed vertical payout with lightweight cross-linked elastomer construction, URSUS VS PLUS is engineered for maximum mechanical brutality—applications where the cable experiences simultaneous tensile and torsional loading under heavy-duty conditions that would destroy a TRATOSLIGHT cable within months. The Klaus Faber datasheet describes it explicitly: heavy-duty reeling rubber cable for power supply and signal transmission in applications with high mechanical stress, especially with simultaneous tensile and torsional load, suitable for cable drums for harbour cranes, container cranes, spreaders, conveyor systems, and handling machines

TRATOSLIGHT-VR® is the original and foundational cable in the TRATOSLIGHT vertical reeling family—the pure power-and-control platform upon which the more specialized VRDB (tightened structure) and VRDB-FO (fiber optic) variants are built. While the VRDB series introduced a reinforced internal structure for the most extreme vertical payout conditions, the VR retains engineering advantages that the VRDB does not match: a higher 3.5 kV test voltage (vs. 2.5 kV for VRDB), a full −40°C dynamic operating temperature (vs. −30°C for VRDB), and a unique screened-bundle configuration for EMC-sensitive spreader applications. These advantages make the VR the preferred specification for a significant segment of the global crane fleet.

When terminal operators are pushing Megamax Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes to their absolute maximum cycles, the cable must coil into the basket flawlessly, hour after hour, without the outer jacket generating friction, heat, or static cling.

Where the SPREADERFLEX BSKT XPRT SYSLTOE FO adds fiber optics but uses thermoplastic insulation, and the TRATOSCOILFLEX uses rubber construction but omits screening—the 3GSLTOE combines lead-ball aramid self-supporting (for wind-proof plumb drop and zero-elongation suspension), bundle stranding (for zero-twist coiling), tinned copper braid EMC screening (for VFD noise immunity), Class FS ultra-flexible conductors (for millions of basket fold cycles), EPR 3GI3 rubber insulation (for the most robust dielectric performance), and PUR outer sheath (for the widest temperature range and lowest surface friction)—all in one cable.

TRATOSCOILFLEX® is a 300/500 V rubber spreader basket cable engineered by Anhui Feichun Special Cable Co., Ltd. for the most gravity-intensive cable application in the entire port crane industry: the vertical basket festoon system that connects the STS crane trolley to the container spreader. This cable does something that would seem impossible to anyone who has not seen it in operation—it free-falls 50+ metres from the crane trolley into a steel collecting basket at speeds up to 160 m/min, coils itself into perfect circular loops without tangling, then uncoils and rises back to full vertical suspension when the spreader lifts—and it does this 500,000+ times per year for a decade or more without failure.

Modern container ports operate Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes and massive gantry systems that demand unprecedented electrical power delivery. A typical STS trolley requires 18 kV to 30 kV of main power to lift 65-ton containers at speeds exceeding 600 meters per minute. This power must flow through a festoon cable system—a continuous loop of cable that unwinds and rewinds thousands of times per day as the trolley travels back and forth along the boom. Traditional round cables cannot solve this problem efficiently. A round medium voltage cable, rated for 18/30 kV, becomes rigid and difficult to bend. It occupies excessive space in the festoon track, requiring long parking lengths and increasing the footprint of the crane's electrical infrastructure. By contrast, a flat cable lays its massive phase cores side-by-side in a single plane, allowing for an incredibly tight bending radius—sometimes as small as 10 to 15 centimeters—while maintaining full electrical power delivery. This single geometric advantage reduces festoon track length by up to 40 percent, enabling faster crane acceleration and dramatically improving container terminal throughput.
