The e-chain® dispenser is cable management system for shore power connections

The igus® e-chain® dispenser connects different vessels such as ferries, RoRo/RoPax ships and offshore vessels to shore power. The pivoting arm bridges the distance to the vessel so that the connectors can be reached and plugged conveniently. When in operation, the e-chain® loop compensates the movements caused by the tide, load, wind and waves.

System:

With the igus® e-chain® magazine, the pull-push module for e-chains®
The modular structure of the e-chain® magazine enables different deployment lengths
Deployment lengths of 33 ft and more
The pivoting arm bridges the distance to the ship that can be adapted to the specific circumstances
Electric drive for arm movement and e-chain® deployment
With control panel or remote control
Optional with tension and length control
Combination of up to five e-chain® magazines to one e-chain® dispenser

Advantages:

Safe cable guidance with the triflex® e-chain® for three-dimensional movements
Single core cables available from stock instead of expensive multi core cables
Smaller outer diameter of the single cores results in small bend radii and a more compact system
The e-chain® ensures correct bending radius, while providing tension relief and protecting the cables against damages
Configurable with different cables, depending on power demand and voltage category
Completely enclosed, optimum protection against wind and weather
Less wear, greater operational reliability and safety, longer service life
