Portable Power and Mining Cable

Cole Wire stocks a comprehensive range of Portable Power, Mining, and Welding Cables designed to withstand the toughest environments. Our inventory includes Type W (no grounds), Type G, Type G-GC, Type SHD-GC, Diesel Locomotive Cable (DLO), and Type SC (Stage Cable), all available from stock or direct from the factory. These cables are engineered for maximum durability, featuring flexible stranding for extended flex life and jackets resistant to impact, oil, acids, alkalis, moisture, heat, and most chemicals. Additionally, we offer welding cables that are flame retardant, oil resistant, and abrasion resistant, designed for arc welding leads and industrial applications like shipyards, mines, and construction where durability and flexibility are critical. Our welding cables come in sizes from 6AWG to 500MCM, available in black, red, yellow, orange, green, and blue, including an extra-flex orange jacketed Class M version.

Specific Applications:
Type W cables serve as power supply lines for mobile and portable electrical equipment, mining machinery, and magnet cranes. Type G and G-GC add grounding for use in heavy-duty equipment such as shuttle cars, drills, and coal cutters. SHD-GC cables, rated up to 15kV with braid shielding, provide temporary or emergency power in severe conditions. DLO cables are widely used in diesel locomotives, oil rigs, mining equipment, shipyards, and as heavy-duty motor leads. Type SC cables are favored for stage lighting, theaters, concerts, television production, mobile communication vans, and other entertainment venues requiring extra flexibility and abrasion resistance. Welding cables support arc welding operations and industrial applications demanding superior resistance to physical abuse and high flexibility.
