The ÖLFLEX® ROBUST 200 3G1 connection cable from Lapp is a flexible control cable designed for use in demanding environments. It is suitable for outdoor use and is intended for fixed installation as well as occasional movement without tensile stress. The cable is specifically designed for applications in dry, wet, rough, and oily environments, remaining flexible even at temperatures down to -40 °C. Typical applications include washing plants, wastewater treatment plants, composting plants, and applications in the food industry. Due to its high weather resistance and durable construction, it is suitable as an all-weather cable, even with frequent steam cleaning and hot water exposure.

Applications
This cable is intended for power supply connections to devices and machines in various industrial sectors. It is particularly suitable for environments where water-soluble cleaning and cooling agents are used, as well as for installations that are regularly cleaned with steam or hot water. The verified resistance to ECOLAB® disinfectants and cleaning agents makes it a reliable choice in hygienically demanding areas. It is also suitable for exposure to UV-C radiation according to LAPP’s internal testing method.

Functions and Features in Detail
The ÖLFLEX® ROBUST 200 3G1 features low-capacitance conductor insulation, suitable for long transmission distances and helping to maintain signal quality over extended lengths. Conductor identification is done by color, simplifying wiring and maintenance. The cable is made of TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), a material known for its high mechanical and chemical resistance. The insulation and sheath are designed to offer excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including ammonia compounds and biogases, as well as plant, animal, and synthetic fats and oils, including bio-oils and ester-based hydraulic oils.

Technology Explained Simply
The cable is rated for an operating voltage of U0/U: 450/750 V, making it suitable for use in industrial and commercial installations. Its flexible construction allows for easy installation, even in tight bends, without compromising mechanical integrity. The high chemical resistance and resistance to mechanical stress ensure a long service life, even under harsh operating conditions. The TPE insulation provides high flexibility at low temperatures and remains stable even under frequent thermal stress.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is normatively tested for use in fresh water up to a depth of 10 m and at a water temperature of 40 °C. This makes it particularly suitable for applications in wet environments, such as wastewater treatment or food processing. Compatibility with water-soluble cleaning and cooling agents, as well as resistance to steam and hot water, increases operational safety in hygiene-critical areas.

Installation and Mounting
The flexible structure of the cable facilitates installation, especially in complex systems with multiple bends. Installation is typically fixed, with occasional movement without tensile stress being possible. Color-based conductor identification supports correct assignment during installation.

Operational Advantages
The ÖLFLEX® ROBUST 200 3G1 offers high reliability in demanding environments. Its long service life, high chemical and mechanical resistance, and resistance to weathering reduce maintenance and replacement intervals. Designed for use in rough, oily, and wet environments, it provides a robust solution for industrial applications. The low capacitance of the conductor insulation ensures stable signal transmission over long distances, which is particularly beneficial in large-scale installations.

Protection Rating and Environmental Resistance
The cable is designed for outdoor use and offers high resistance to UV-C radiation, making it suitable for applications in open-air environments. The TPE insulation and sheath provide high mechanical strength and resistance to mechanical stress, such as abrasion or pressure. The verified resistance in fresh water up to 10 m depth and 40 °C water temperature expands its application range in wet and humid environments.

Application-Specific Properties
The cable is particularly suitable for installations that are regularly cleaned with steam or hot water, such as in the food industry or wastewater treatment. Resistance to ECOLAB® products and other chemical cleaning agents increases safety and reliability in operation. The high chemical resistance to fats and oils, including bio-oils and ester-based hydraulic oils, makes it a universal solution in oily environments.
