PVC data cable, twisted pair, double shielded PAAR-TRONIC-CY-CY 2x2x0.5 mm² grey, color-coded wires according to DIN 47100 21101

Shielded control cable – reliable signal transmission

This flexible control cable, with a cross-section of 2x2x0.5 mm², is designed for transmitting control signals and data in environments exposed to electromagnetic interference. The double-screened construction provides high resistance to interference, ensuring stable and reliable transmission. The cable is particularly recommended for use in automation, control systems and audio-video installations where precision and signal quality are crucial.

Construction and properties

The cable is characterized by a solid construction, ensuring long-lasting and trouble-free operation. Twisted pair copper conductors minimize signal interaction, and PVC insulation provides good protection against mechanical damage and weathering. Two screens – braiding on the bundles and a common braiding – effectively suppress electromagnetic interference, protecting sensitive devices from its effects. Additionally, the cable is UV and oil resistant, increasing its versatility and allowing use in harsh industrial conditions.

• Flexibility: Class 5 conductor (stranded flexible) makes installation and routing easier in tight spaces.
• Wide temperature range: Ability to operate at temperatures from -30°C to +80°C (after installation) guarantees reliable operation in various environmental conditions.
• Interference resistance: Double screen (braids) minimizes the impact of electromagnetic interference on the transmitted signal.
• Application in audio-video systems: High-quality shielding allows the cable to be used in professional sound and image transmission systems.
• Compliance with standards: The cable meets the requirements of DIN VDE 0812 and 0814 standards and the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (CE marking).
• Mechanical strength: The outer PVC coating provides protection against mechanical damage and weathering.
• Chemical resistance: Increases the range of possible applications of the cable in various industrial environments.

User parameters

The cable has a cross-section of 0.5 mm² per conductor, providing adequate current carrying capacity for typical control applications. The outer diameter of the cable is approximately 11.2 mm, which should be considered when selecting appropriate cable glands and connectors. The minimum bending radius is 6x cable diameter for fixed installation and 12x cable diameter for flexible installation – important when installing in tight spaces. Remember to ensure two-sided contact of the shielding braid with the terminals for optimal protection against interference.
