The ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 100 CY 2X0,5 control cable from Lapp is a flexible, shielded cable designed for use in industrial control and signal applications. It is suitable for moderate mechanical stress and is used for fixed installation as well as occasional movement without tensile load. The cable is universally applicable for wiring internal machine circuits and cross-system control circuits. The PVC outer sheath offers resistance to acids and alkalis and is conditionally oil-resistant, expanding its application possibilities in various industrial environments.

Applications

The cable is suitable for use in dry and damp rooms, making it applicable in a wide range of production and assembly environments. It is particularly intended for applications in machine building, manufacturing technology, and automation technology, where reliable signal transmission under moderate mechanical stress is required. The construction with reduced wall thickness ensures space-saving installation, which is advantageous in compact machine designs.

Functions and Features in Detail

The ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 100 CY 2X0,5 features a copper braided shield with high coverage, providing effective protection against electromagnetic interference. This ensures stable signal transmission, especially in environments with high electromagnetic noise. The conductors are color-coded, simplifying wiring and maintenance. The extruded inner sheath increases mechanical robustness and contributes to the cable’s longevity.

Technology Explained Simply

The cable is rated for an operating voltage of 300/500 V, which is sufficient for typical control and signal applications in industry. The test voltage is 4000 V, ensuring high electrical safety. The PVC insulation and outer sheath are designed for good chemical resistance, particularly against acids and alkalis. The flexible construction allows easy installation, even in tight bending radii, without compromising cable integrity.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is designed for use in control and signal systems requiring a flexible yet robust connection. It is compatible with standard connectors and terminals designed for PVC insulation. The use of additional protective or shielding measures is possible depending on the application environment, but is not part of the cable itself.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed via fixed routing, with occasional movement without tensile load permitted. The flexible structure facilitates pulling into conduit or cable ducts. The color-coded conductor identification supports error-free wiring. During installation, sufficient bending radius must be maintained to ensure cable lifespan.

Operational Advantages

The cable offers high reliability under moderate mechanical stress. The integrated copper shield reduces interference, enhancing signal quality in complex electrical systems. The chemical resistance of the PVC sheath enables use in various environments without rapid wear. The space-saving design with reduced wall thickness is particularly beneficial in limited installation spaces.

Certification and Standards

The cable is classified according to EU Directive 305/2011 (BauPVO/CPR), with the exact classification available via article number selection on the LAPP website. This ensures compliance with applicable construction and product safety regulations. The test voltage of 4000 V underscores the high electrical safety of the cable.
