The YSLY-JZ 5X2,5 0,6/1KV SCHWARZ is a flexible PVC hose cable from manufacturer Xaver Bechtold, designed for measurement, control, and control applications in industrial environments. It is used on machine tools, conveyor and belt systems, production lines, in plant engineering, and in climate technology, particularly in steelworks and rolling mills. The cable is designed for flexible use with free movement without tensile stress and without forced movement guidance, and can be installed in dry, damp, and wet rooms as well as outdoors (fixed installation). Direct installation in earth or water is not permitted. The black special PVC outer sheath is UV-resistant and is primarily used in southern European and Arab countries as well as in eastern states.

Applications

The cable is designed for medium mechanical stress and is suitable for applications requiring flexible installation, for example in production plants, on movable machine parts, or in industrial manufacturing processes. It is particularly suitable for environments with increased humidity or outdoors, as long as there is no direct contact with earth or water. The cable is used in installations requiring reliable electrical connections for control and signal transmission.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The cable features a bare, fine-stranded CU conductor according to DIN VDE 0295 Class 5 or IEC 60228 Class 5. The cores are insulated with special PVC core insulation T12 according to DIN VDE 0281 Part 1. The black cores are marked with a continuous white digit print according to DIN VDE 0293, allowing clear identification of the cores even with short stripping. Base lines prevent misreading of individual digits. The green-yellow protective conductor is arranged in the outer layer from three cores onwards. The cores are stranded in layers, ensuring optimal lay lengths. The outer sheath consists of black special PVC TM2 according to DIN VDE 0281 Part 1, which is largely oil-resistant. The material is self-extinguishing and flame-retardant, according to test method B of VDE 0472 Part 804 and IEC 60332-1.

Technology Explained Simply

The cable is a special PVC hose cable manufactured in accordance with DIN VDE 0262-12.95 and DIN VDE 0281 Part 13, with insulation wall thickness designed for a rated voltage of 1 kV. The temperature resistance is -5 °C to +70 °C for moving applications and -40 °C to +80 °C for fixed installation. The rated voltage is U(0)/U 0.6/1 kV, with a test voltage of 4000 V. The insulation resistance is at least 20 MΩ·km. Current loading is according to VDE 0298 Part 4. The minimum bending radius is 7.5 times the cable diameter. Radiation resistance is up to 80×10⁶ cJ/kg (80 Mrad), and the outer sheath is UV-resistant.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is designed for use in industrial installations where a flexible yet robust connection is required. It is compatible with standard connectors and cable glands suitable for PVC control cables. The use of protective conductors in the outer layer complies with common standards for electrical installations. The cable can be used in combination with other plant engineering components, especially in environments requiring high mechanical and chemical resistance.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is for free movement without tensile stress. The cable must not be installed directly in earth or water. During installation, the specified minimum bending radius of 7.5 times the cable diameter must be observed to avoid material fatigue. Outdoor installation is permitted, provided the cable is not directly exposed to earth or water. The UV resistance of the outer sheath enables long-term outdoor use.

Operational Advantages

The cable offers high mechanical and chemical resistance, particularly due to the oil-resistant, self-extinguishing, and flame-retardant special PVC sheath. UV resistance enables long-term outdoor use. Clear core identification via continuous digit printing and base lines simplifies installation and maintenance. High insulation quality and a test voltage of 4000 V ensure safe electrical function. Current loading according to VDE 0298 Part 4 enables reliable energy transmission.
