The control cable ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 100 CY 4G50 from Lapp is a flexible, shielded cable designed for industrial applications. It is intended for electrical circuits requiring a higher rated voltage due to installation conditions, and is suitable for fixed installation as well as occasional movement without tensile stress. The cable is universally applicable for wiring internal machine circuits and cross-system control circuits. The PVC outer sheath is resistant to acids and alkalis and conditionally oil-resistant, expanding its application possibilities in various industrial environments.

Applications
This control cable is suitable for moderate mechanical stress and can be used in dry and damp rooms. It is specifically designed for applications requiring high electrical safety and reliable signal transmission. The cable is suitable for use in machine building, plant engineering, and other industrial sectors where flexible yet robust wiring is necessary.

Functions and Features in Detail
The cable features a copper braided shield with high coverage, providing excellent protection against electromagnetic interference. The conductors are colour-coded, facilitating identification and wiring. The extruded inner sheath adds extra robustness and improves the mechanical stability of the cable. The PVC insulation of the conductors ensures high electrical insulation and contributes to safety.

Technology Explained Simply
The rated voltage of the cable is U0/U: 450/750 V, meaning it is suitable for applications with an operating voltage up to 750 V. The test voltage of 4000 V ensures high electrical safety, as it tests the insulation under high voltage conditions. The protection rating is not explicitly stated, but the cable is designed for fixed installation and occasional movement without tensile stress, indicating a robust construction. The classification of fire behaviour is according to EU Directive 305/2011 (BauPVO/CPR), with the exact classification selectable via the LAPP website.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is universally applicable and can be combined with various connectors, cable lugs, and other connection elements suitable for PVC insulation. The colour-coded conductor identification simplifies wiring and maintenance of the system.

Installation and Mounting
The cable is designed for fixed installation and can be moved occasionally, provided no tensile stress occurs. Installation is typically done using cable lugs or connectors suitable for the insulation thickness used. The flexible construction allows easy routing in confined spaces and around corners.

Operational Advantages
The control cable offers high electrical safety due to the 4000 V test voltage and effective protection against electromagnetic interference via the copper braided shield. The robust construction with extruded inner sheath and oil-resistant PVC outer sheath ensures long service life and reliable performance in various industrial environments. The colour-coded conductor identification simplifies installation and maintenance, increasing operational safety.
