The control cable ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 100 2X0,5 from Lapp is a flexible cable for use in industrial control and signal applications. It is designed for an operating voltage of 300/500 V and is suitable for moderate mechanical stress. The cable is supplied in a length of 100 meters and is designed for fixed installation as well as occasional movement without tensile stress. It is suitable for use in dry and damp rooms and is used for wiring internal machine and cross-system control circuits. The PVC outer sheath is resistant to acids and alkalis and is conditionally oil-resistant, which expands its application possibilities in various industrial environments.

Applications
This control cable is universally applicable in industrial electrical engineering, particularly in machine building, plant engineering, and automation technology. It is suitable for connecting control devices, sensors, actuators, and other electrical components. Due to its construction, it is also suitable for torsion applications in wind turbines, where a certain rotational movement of the cable can occur without impairing electrical functionality.

Functions and Features in Detail
The cable features two conductors with a cross-section of 0.5 mm², color-coded for easy identification and wiring. The PVC sheath provides good protection against external influences and ensures high mechanical stability. The reduced wall thickness of the sheath enables a space-saving design, which is advantageous when installing in confined spaces or cable ducts. The cable is designed as an alternative to control cables of type YSLY or YY, offering high-quality, reliable performance.

Technology Explained Simply
The operating voltage of 300/500 V enables use in a wide range of control and signal applications common in industry. The test voltage of 4000 V ensures high electrical safety and minimizes the risk of breakdowns or insulation faults. The classification of fire behavior according to EU Directive 305/2011 (BauPVO/CPR) ensures compliance with the European Construction Products Regulation and is relevant for use in buildings and plants. The flexible construction allows easy installation and bending without impairing electrical properties.

Compatibility and Accessories
The control cable is compatible with a wide range of connectors, cable lugs, and other connection elements commonly used in industrial electrical engineering. It can be combined with other cables from the ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 100 program to create a uniform cable system. The wide range of available dimensions allows adaptation to different requirements in control and signal transmission.

Installation and Mounting
The cable is designed for fixed installation and can be laid in cable ducts, enclosures, or on trays. Bending is possible for occasional movements without tensile stress, provided the manufacturer’s minimum bending radius recommendations are observed. Connections are made using suitable connectors or cable lugs, which must be selected according to the specific application.

Operational Advantages
The control cable offers high reliability and durability in industrial environments. The durable PVC insulation protects against chemical influences, and the flexible construction facilitates installation. Classification according to BauPVO/CPR and the high test voltage increase operational safety. The space-saving design reduces space requirements during installation and supports orderly cable routing.

Protection Rating
The cable is not specifically designed for a particular protection rating such as IP67 or IP68. The statements regarding moisture resistance refer to use in dry and damp rooms, but without specific IP classification. Use in outdoor environments is not explicitly mentioned, so outdoor application is not standardly intended.

PoE (Power over Ethernet)
The cable is not designed for power supply over Ethernet cable (PoE). Its construction is intended for control and signal applications, not for simultaneous transmission of power and data over a single cable.

Approvals and Standards
The cable meets the requirements of EU Directive 305/2011 (BauPVO/CPR) regarding fire behavior. The exact classification is available via the article number selection on the LAPP website. The test voltage of 4000 V ensures electrical safety according to industrial standards.

Manufacturer Number and Type
The manufacturer number is 00100004/100, and the type is ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 100 2X0,5. The cable is part of the ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 100 program from Lapp, developed for flexible control cables in industrial applications.
