The control cable YSLY-JZ 3X0.75 from Xaver Bechtold is a flexible control cable for use in industrial plant and machine engineering. It is used to connect control devices on machine tools, conveyor and assembly lines, material handling systems, and in general plant construction. The cable is suitable for fixed installation as well as for flexible applications where the cable moves freely without tensile stress and without forced guidance, subject to moderate mechanical loads. It can be used in dry, damp, and wet rooms, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial environments.

Applications
This control cable is specifically designed for use in production plants, manufacturing environments, and automated systems. It is frequently used in machine control, automation technology, and for wiring drives and sensors. The cable is designed for indoor use, and can also be used in damp or wet areas, such as in cooling or washing plants. The operating conditions include both stationary and moving applications, with moving applications requiring limited mechanical stress.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cable consists of bare, fine-stranded copper conductors in accordance with VDE 0295 Class 5, ensuring high flexibility and durability. The conductors are insulated with PVC and marked in accordance with VDE 0293-308. Identification is achieved through black conductors with continuous numerical printing, with the protective conductor in green-yellow. The conductors are stranded in layers, ensuring even distribution of mechanical stress and improved flexibility. The sheath is made of PVC and is grey in colour. The designation, dimensions, and VDE registration number are printed on the sheath, enabling easy identification and documentation.

Technology Explained Simply
The rated voltage is 300/500 V, making the cable suitable for use in typical industrial control and signal applications. The test voltage of 4000 V ensures high electrical strength. The temperature resistance is -5 °C to +70 °C for moving applications and -40 °C to +80 °C for fixed installation, enabling a wide range of operating temperatures. The bending radius is 4 times the cable diameter for fixed installation and 15 times for flexible use, making the cable suitable for applications with moderate bending stress. Flame retardancy corresponds to test method B according to VDE 0472 Part 804 (equivalent to IEC 332-1), ensuring limited flammability and low smoke emission in case of fire. The cable is largely resistant to chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and certain hydrocarbon compounds, making it suitable for use in chemically demanding environments.

Compatibility and Accessories
The control cable is suitable for use with standard connectors, terminals, and switching devices in industrial applications. It can be combined with other YSLY cables, particularly in installations requiring uniform cabling. The conductor marking in accordance with VDE 0293-308 enables clear identification and simplifies installation and maintenance.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by fixed routing in cable ducts, conduits, or trays, ensuring that the bending radii are observed. For flexible use, it must be ensured that the cable is not pulled and no forced guidance occurs. The conductors are connected via suitable terminals or connectors, ensuring correct assignment of the numbered conductors. The cable can be installed in dry, damp, and wet rooms; in wet environments, additional protection against water ingress is recommended.

Operational Advantages
The control cable offers high mechanical and chemical resistance, enabling long service life and low maintenance frequency. The clear marking of the conductors simplifies installation and fault diagnosis. Flame retardancy increases operational safety, especially in enclosed spaces. The cable’s flexibility allows easy installation in complex plant structures, with its bending strength meeting the requirements for moving applications. The cable is suitable for industrial environments with moderate mechanical loads and chemical exposure, making it a reliable solution for control and signal applications.
