PBE Spider Cables & Couplers

PBE provide a vast range of high, medium and low voltage cables and couplers for sale and hire.

Low voltage trailing cables

PBE Axell Power Transformers Low Voltage Trailing Cables

Trailing are heavy duty flexible electrical power cables used typically for mobile equipment. The cable permits the mobile apparatus to move without disconnecting its electric power supply.
A trailing cable is specifically designed to be moved with the mobile equipment. PBE trailing cable incorporates pilot protection options.

  • Type 209.1, 241.1 and 275.1 plugged trailing cables are ready for hire
  • Available in a variety of CSA sizes
  • Back to Back connections available for sale or hire ex-stock

PBE Axell Power Transformers Couplers

PBE provides reliable and robust medium voltage cable connections for use on service voltages up to 24kV suitable for mining, tunnelling and industrial applications. Ease of fitting and maintenance has been incorporated into our coupler design.

They are manufactured using state of the art digital techniques delivering superior mechanical attributes and exceptional electrical performance that exceeds the latest standards.

Features and benefits common to all our couplers include:


  • Removable face which is replaceable without having to re-terminate the coupler reducing maintenance costs
  • Phase pins up to 300mm (Ex) and 500mm (stainless steel) catering for all common cable sizes
  • Gender neutral so no cable orientation required
  • Fitted silicon phase shrouds that expel air, dust and moisture from contact area
  • Silver plated fitted pins and connectors for maximum conductivity
  • Corrosion resistant stainless steel fasteners
  • Modular design allowing for reduced inventory
  • Metal phase separation to eliminate phase to phase faults
  • For the Ex option, certified thus no local retesting required
