Polycab Festoon Cable – Flat Flexible Multicore Copper, PVC, for Cranes, Hoists and Lifts

The Polycab Festoon Cable is a flat flexible multicore copper cable, PVC insulated and sheathed, for the festoon systems of cranes and hoists and for lift travelling cables. Polycab's catalogue lists it as generally conforming to IS 694. It is supplied at a price on request: cable prices depend on the construction, the quantity and the raw-material prices on the day.

Polycab India Limited is India's largest manufacturer of wires and cables, with 27 manufacturing facilities, a network of 4,300+ dealers and distributors, 2,00,000+ retailers and an export presence in 84 countries (polycab.com, October 2026). Its cable range runs from house wires and 1.1 kV power and control cables to MV and EHV power cables, with instrumentation, solar, railway, marine, mining, fire-survival and other special cables. Jai Enterprises supplies Polycab cables from Bhilai and Raipur all over Chhattisgarh - Bhilai, Raipur, Durg, Korba, Bilaspur, Raigarh, Jagdalpur, Kanker, Ambikapur and every other district - and across India.

Is this the right one for you?

Check these four things before you order:

• The cable hangs in a festoon system on a crane, hoist or monorail, or travels with a lift car.
• You know the number of cores and the conductor size.
• You know the voltage of the circuits (power and control).
• The route is clear of high heat and heavy oil, which PVC does not suit.

Why choose the Polycab Festoon Cable

• Flat construction - folds neatly in festoon loops on C-rail and I-beam trolleys
• Flexible multicore copper conductors for continuous movement
• PVC insulated and sheathed
• For cranes, hoists and lifts

How to choose and specify it

Festoon layout. Tell us the travel length and speed, the number of trolleys and the loop depth, and we confirm the cable for your festoon.

Lift travelling cables. The cable hangs under its own weight, so tell us the travel height and speed. Long hangs usually need a travelling cable with strain-bearing elements, and we confirm with Polycab whether this cable suits your lift.

Cores and size. Count the power and control circuits to the crane or hoist (motors, brakes, limit switches, pendant) and choose the cores and size for the current and run length.

Rating. We confirm the rating on the datasheet for your cores and size (see the note on the 650/1100 V grade).

Where it is used

• EOT and gantry crane festoon systems
• Hoists and monorails
• Lift travelling cables
• Material handling and conveyor shuttles
• Workshop and warehouse cranes

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of the Polycab Festoon Cable?

The Polycab Festoon Cable is supplied at a price on request, because cable prices depend on the construction, the quantity and the raw-material prices on the day. Call +91 9340081159 for a quotation.

Why a flat cable for festoons?

A flat cable bends easily in one plane and stacks neatly in the festoon loops, so in a festoon it usually lasts longer than a round cable of the same size.

What voltage grade is it?

Polycab states a 650/1100 V grade developed in-house. IS 694:2010, which it generally conforms to, covers cables up to 450/750 V, so we confirm the rating on the datasheet.

Can it be used on a cable reel?

Festoon cables are made for festoon systems. For motorised reels, tell us the duty and we confirm a suitable Polycab cable.

Where can I buy the Polycab Festoon Cable in Chhattisgarh?

From Jai Enterprises, Bhilai and Raipur, which supplies Polycab cables to every district of Chhattisgarh and across India. Call +91 9340081159 for the price, stock and lead time.
