The ÖLFLEX® 150 6G1 control cable from Lapp is a flexible, oil-resistant cable designed for industrial applications. It is manufactured in the 6G1 configuration, meaning six conductors with a cross-section of 1 mm² per conductor, and is rated for an operating voltage of 300/500 V. The cable conforms to the harmonized European type H05VV5-F and carries the ¿HAR¿ approval mark, indicating tested safety and quality. It is suitable for medium mechanical stress and can be used in dry, damp, and especially oily environments. The PVC insulation and PVC outer sheath are resistant to acids and alkalis, making the cable suitable for use in chemically demanding environments. Conductor identification is done by numbers, enabling clear and unambiguous assignment of conductors during wiring.

Applications
ÖLFLEX® 150 6G1 is universally applicable for wiring internal machine circuits and cross-system control circuits. It is suitable for fixed installation as well as occasional movement without tensile stress, for example in production plants, material handling systems, or in the packaging industry. The enhanced oil resistance according to DIN EN 50363-4-1 (TM5) makes it particularly suitable for environments where oil or grease mists occur, such as in metalworking or machine construction. The tested resistance to ECOLAB® disinfectants and cleaning agents extends its application range to hygienically demanding areas such as the food industry.

Functions and Features in Detail
The cable is equipped with multiple certifications, enabling universal use and reducing component variety. UL and CSA certification allows use in the North American market, making the cable internationally applicable. The PVC insulation provides good electrical insulation and mechanical stability. The flexible construction facilitates installation and mounting, especially in tight bending radii or complex wiring geometries. Conductor identification by numbers ensures safe and error-free wiring, particularly in complex systems with many connections.

Technical Explanation
The designation H05VV5-F describes the harmonized European type: H stands for heating cables, 05 for a nominal cross-section of 0.5 mm² to 1 mm², VV for PVC insulation and sheath, and 5-F for a flexible cable with five conductors (here 6G1, meaning six conductors with 1 mm²). The voltage class 300/500 V means the cable is designed for an operating voltage up to 300 V between conductor and earth and up to 500 V between conductors. Oil resistance according to DIN EN 50363-4-1 (TM5) ensures that the cable retains its electrical and mechanical properties even after prolonged exposure to mineral oils and greases. UL and CSA certification confirms compliance with safety standards of the North American market.

Compatibility and Accessories
ÖLFLEX® 150 6G1 is compatible with standard connection techniques such as connectors, terminals, and screw terminals suitable for PVC insulation. The cable can be used in combination with other products from the Lapp ÖLFLEX® range to ensure a consistent wiring system. The multiple certifications enable flexible use in various markets and application areas without requiring additional approvals.

Installation and Mounting
The cable is designed for fixed installation and can be used for occasional movement without tensile stress. Its flexible construction facilitates installation, especially in confined spaces or around bends. The PVC insulation is resistant to mechanical stress and chemical influences, supporting installation in demanding environments. Conductor identification by numbers simplifies assignment during wiring and reduces error sources.

Operational Advantages
ÖLFLEX® 150 6G1 offers high reliability due to its tested quality and safety. The multiple certifications reduce component variety and simplify logistics. Oil resistance and resistance to acids, alkalis, and disinfectants increase the cable’s service life and reduce maintenance and replacement intervals. Its universal applicability in Europe and the North American market makes it an economical solution for international projects.
