Flexible cable 500V OZ-BL-CY 3x1 blue for EX zones shielded 14042

Highly durable cable for EX zones – reliability and safety in harsh conditions

This blue, shielded OZ-BL-CY 3x1 cable with a cross-section of 1 mm² is designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres where high flexibility and resistance to interference are required. It is an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable conductor in demanding industrial environments.

Construction and properties

The cable is characterized by a solid construction, ensuring long-lasting and safe operation. Made of high-quality materials, it meets stringent safety standards. Multi-strand copper conductors, class 5 (according to DIN VDE 0295 / IEC 60228) guarantee good flexibility and resistance to mechanical fatigue. Conductor insulation made of PVC type Z 7225 provides effective protection against electrical damage. The conductors are twisted in layers, which minimizes the risk of interference. In addition, a screen made of tinned copper braid (with a coverage density of approx. 85%) effectively protects against electromagnetic influences, which is crucial in industrial environments exposed to interference. The outer sheath made of PVC (type TM2 according to DIN VDE 0207-363-4-1 / DIN EN 50363-4-1) in blue (RAL 5015) provides resistance to weathering and UV radiation.

Applications and benefits

This cable is widely used in intrinsically safe installations in potentially explosive areas (according to DIN VDE 0165-1 / DIN EN 60079-14 / IEC 60079-14). It is perfect as a control and measuring cable in control and measurement technology, especially in ungrounded installations with a separate electrical circuit. Thanks to its flexibility, it is easy to install and route even in tight spaces. The minimum bending radius is 10x cable diameter for flexible bending and 5x cable diameter for fixed laying. The cable is also oil-resistant (with reservations contained in the technical documentation) and does not contain silicone, cadmium or substances that hinder painting. The use of a braided copper screen minimizes the influence of electromagnetic interference, which translates into stable operation of devices.

Additional advantages:

• Safety: Meets the standards for intrinsically safe installations in hazardous areas.
• Flexibility: Enables easy installation even in difficult conditions.
• Resistance: Durable coating protects against external factors (UV, weather conditions).
• Shielding: Provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMC).
• Compliance with standards: Has a VDE-Reg.-No. 7032 certificate and a CE marking confirming compliance with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU.
• Wide operating temperature range: From -40°C to +80°C (flexible and stationary).
