The vehicle cable ÖLFLEX® TRUCK 170 FLRYY 8X1.5+5X2.5 from Lapp is a rubber hose cable specifically developed for use in commercial vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers. It is used for wiring electrical installations and is particularly designed for use in hazardous goods transport. The cable is approved under ADR, enabling its use in vehicles for the transport of dangerous goods in accordance with the regulations of the ADR (Accord européen relatif au transport des marchandises dangereuses par route). The cable construction is designed for fixed installation, making it suitable for permanent installations in vehicles.

Applications

The cable is primarily intended for electrical installations in trailers, semi-trailers, and other commercial vehicles. It is used to connect electrical systems such as lighting, controls, sensors, and other components. The ADR approval ensures compliance with requirements for hazardous goods transport, making it an important component in logistics and transportation. The cable is used in fixed installations subjected to permanent stress.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The cable features a copper conductor construction with 8 conductors of cross-section 1.5 mm² and 5 conductors of cross-section 2.5 mm². Conductor identification is achieved through color coding, using the colors yellow, blue, green, brown, red, black, pink, white-blue, white, orange, gray, white-black, and white-red. These colors allow for clear identification of conductors in the wiring system, simplifying installation and maintenance. The cable is rated for an operating voltage of 60 V, which is sufficient for most applications in the vehicle sector.

Technology Explained Simply

The designation FLRYY describes the cable construction: F stands for fixed installation cable, L for conductor, R for PVC insulation, and YY for PVC outer sheath. The PVC insulation provides good protection against mechanical stress, moisture, and chemical influences. The cable is designed for fixed installation, meaning it is not intended for movable applications such as trailing cables or control cables in moving parts. The ADR approval is a key feature, enabling use in vehicles for hazardous goods transport.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is specifically developed for use in commercial vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers. It is compatible with electrical systems commonly used in these vehicles and can be connected using standard connectors, terminals, and other connection elements. The ADR approval ensures the cable meets the requirements for transporting dangerous goods.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by fixed routing within vehicles. The cable is designed for permanent installation and should be installed in accordance with regulations for electrical systems in vehicles. The color coding of the conductors simplifies identification and reduces errors during wiring.

Operational Advantages

The ADR approval is the main advantage of this cable, as it enables use in vehicles for hazardous goods transport. The PVC insulation provides good protection against mechanical and chemical stress, extending the cable’s service life. The color coding of the conductors simplifies installation and maintenance. The cable is rated for an operating voltage of 60 V, which is sufficient for most applications in the vehicle sector. Fixed installation ensures a stable and reliable connection.
