In underground coal mining operations governed by AS/NZS 1802, engineers frequently face the decision between Type 209 cables with metallic (copper braid) screening and Type 241 cables with semiconductive (composite) screening. While both cable types serve as flexible power feeders in mining environments, their distinct screening architectures make each optimal for different operational requirements. Understanding these differences is essential for selecting the correct cable that ensures both operational efficiency and compliance with safety regulations.

Type 209 mining cable is a composite-screened, elastomer-insulated trailing cable specifically designed for use as a flexible feeder to mining machinery under the Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1802:2003. This cable type is engineered for applications where trailing functionality takes precedence over reeling operations, making it ideally suited for power distribution to mobile underground mining equipment. Type 209 矿用电缆是一种复合屏蔽、弹性体绝缘的牵引电缆，专为根据澳大利亚和新西兰标准 AS/NZS 1802:2003 用作采矿机械的柔性馈电电缆而设计。该电缆类型专为牵引功能优先于卷筒操作的应用而设计，非常适合为移动式井下采矿设备供电。
