Control cable 1kV KU REEL 18x1.5 white numbered cores 18048071

Highly durable control cable for dynamic applications.

This 18-core, 1kV control cable, catalog number 18048071, is a reliable solution for demanding applications where flexibility and resistance to external factors are crucial. The cable features exceptional flexibility thanks to its stranded copper construction and polyurethane (PUR) outer jacket. It is ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations, in environments exposed to abrasion, UV radiation, oils, and ozone.

Construction and properties

The cable is designed for long-term and trouble-free operation. Its construction includes:

• Copper conductors: multi-strand wire class 5 (DIN VDE 0295, IEC 60228) provides good conductivity and flexibility.
• XLPE insulation: high-quality polyethylene insulation ensures safety and reliability.
• Core identification: power cores are marked according to HD 308 S2 and VDE 0293-JB (black, brown, grey, yellow-green), and control cores – white with printed numbers for easy identification.
• Screening: durable fibers prevent cable twisting and increase its durability.
• PUR jacket: the outer polyurethane layer provides resistance to abrasion, industrial oils, UV radiation, and ozone.

The cable retains its properties in a wide temperature range: from -40°C to +80°C in stationary mode and from -30°C to +80°C in flexible mode. Short-term temperature loads up to +250°C are also permissible. The minimum bending radius is 12x cable diameter, making installation easier even in tight spaces. Cable winding speed can reach up to 150 m/min.

Applications and benefits

This control cable is particularly recommended for dynamic applications such as:

• Machines and equipment: ideal for powering and controlling moving machine parts.
• Robotics: an excellent choice for connections in industrial robots.
• Close-range transport systems: will work in applications related to conveyors and other internal transport systems.
• Outdoor applications: thanks to its weather resistance, it can be used outdoors.

By choosing this cable, you gain:

• Exceptional durability: resistance to abrasion, oils and UV radiation guarantees a long cable life.
• Flexibility: ease of winding and laying in tight spaces simplifies installation.
• Safety: XLPE insulation and the possibility of using a protective conductor (marked with "G" in the name) ensure safe operation of the electrical installation.
• Easy core identification: white control cores with numbering facilitate connection and servicing.
