A new type of cable is expected to become a "lifeline" for coal miners

The new cable independently developed by Chinese enterprises is expected to become the "lifeline"
of tens of millions of miners.
The cable is able to transport necessities in times of crisis, thus supporting the lives of thousands of miners
.

This versatile cable uses stainless steel pipes inside traditional cables, allowing daily necessities such as air, water and milk to be transported through these stainless steel pipes in the event of an emergency such as a landslide, giving rescuers more time
to rescue.

The cable also monitors the gas density in the well, and if the air detects an anomaly, its built-in emergency alarm will sound
.

This multifunctional cable was patented by the state in September last year and was developed
by Shenxing Cable Company in Hebei Province.
"Mature products are already being produced and we are trying to get to market
faster.
" The relevant person in charge of Shenxing cable said
.

According to the State Administration of Work Safety, China has 10,000 coal mines and more than 58 million miners, with an average of millions of miners working
underground every day.
In the 13th Five-Year Plan, the central authorities clearly put the interests and rights of the people in the first place in
the current stage of development.
"The life safety of workers in China's coal mines is the most urgent issue
that needs to be solved at present.
" A spokesman for the State Administration of Safety Supervision said
.

"This new cable was designed with the safety needs of coal miners in mind
.
" An engineer of Shenxing Cable said, "We got technical inspiration from submarine
cables.
”

The cable can reach mines up to 2,000 meters deep and is not limited by excavation applications, and can also be used in high-speed railway tunnel construction
.
The above-mentioned person said, "As long as a tunnel is dug, this cable can provide a life channel, and its market prospects are broad
.
" ”
