The ÖLFLEX® ROBUST 200 4G2.5 connection cable from Lapp is a flexible control cable designed for use in demanding environments. It is suitable for outdoor applications and is intended for fixed installation as well as occasional movement without tensile stress. The cable is designed for power supply connections of devices and machines in various industries, particularly in applications requiring high chemical resistance and mechanical robustness.
Applications
This cable is especially suitable for applications such as car washes, wastewater treatment plants, composting facilities, and food industry applications. It can be used in dry, wet, rough, and oily environments. Due to its resistance to UV-C radiation (according to LAPP internal test method), it is also suitable for outdoor installations with direct sunlight exposure. The tested resistance to ECOLAB® disinfectants and cleaning agents, as well as water-soluble cleaning and coolant agents, makes it a reliable choice in hygienically demanding areas.
Functions and Features in Detail
The ÖLFLEX® ROBUST 200 4G2.5 features low-capacitance core insulation, suitable for long transmission distances and ensuring minimal signal distortion. Core identification is done by color, simplifying wiring and maintenance. The cable is resistant to hot water and steam, making it suitable for frequent steam cleaning. The insulation and sheath are made of TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), a material offering high mechanical and chemical resistance.
Technology Explained Simply
The cable is rated for an operating voltage of U0/U: 450/750 V, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. The operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to an unspecified upper limit, with the cable remaining flexible down to -40 °C. The high chemical resistance includes excellent performance against ammonia compounds, biogases, and plant, animal, and synthetic fats and oils, including bio-oils and ester-based hydraulic oils. The cable is normatively tested for use in fresh water up to a depth of 10 m and a water temperature of 40 °C.
Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is designed for use in rough and oily environments and is particularly well-suited for use in combination with water-soluble cleaning and coolant agents. Its robust construction enables versatile use in various industrial sectors.
Installation and Mounting
The cable is designed for fixed installation and can be moved occasionally, provided no tensile stress occurs. Its flexible structure facilitates installation, especially in tight or complex routing situations. Color-based core identification supports correct wiring.
Operational Advantages
The ÖLFLEX® ROBUST 200 4G2.5 offers a particularly weather-resistant and long-lasting all-weather cable thanks to high-quality insulation and sheath materials. The robust construction and wide operating temperature range extend the range of applications. The cable is suitable for frequent cleaning processes such as steam cleaning, simplifying maintenance in hygienically relevant areas. The low-capacitance core insulation ensures reliable signal transmission over long distances.
