RFID-Enabled

Nexans AmerCable, the leader in mining cable innovation, now offers RFID-enabled SHD-GC and Mine Power Feeder mining cables. RFID technology is widely used in a variety of industrial applications, but this is a first for mining power cables.

By weaving a small string of passive RFID chips into the cable’s core prior to jacketing, Nexans AmerCable gives customers the ability to access real-time cable information. Using a scanner and the Nexans Smart Inventory Management (SIM) app, they can see each cable’s:

• Identification data
• Repair history
• Technical data
• Repair manuals / documentation

These RFID chips, which are programmed in the AmerCable factory, require no external power and run the length of the cable.
