Control cable OLFLEX CLASSIC 110 CY 4G25 black numbered cores 500V shielded 1135626

Application and Construction of the Control Cable

The OLFLEX CLASSIC 110 CY cable is a solution dedicated to industrial applications where reliable transmission of control signals under electromagnetic interference (EMI) conditions is critical. Thanks to its shielding in the form of a tinned copper wire braid, the cable effectively protects internal circuits from noise, which is invaluable when working with sensitive electronics, PLC controllers, or automation systems. Conductors made of fine strands of electrolytic copper ensure high flexibility, enabling easy installation in tight spaces within control cabinets and in moving equipment (e.g., conveyor systems), where cables are subjected to continuous bending.

The PVC insulation (LAPP P8/1) of the conductors and the grey outer sheath based on the same material guarantee resistance to abrasion, oils, and chemical environmental factors. It is worth noting the color coding – the conductors are black and individually numbered, which significantly facilitates circuit identification during installation and subsequent fault diagnosis. Such organization reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of errors when connecting complex control systems.

Electrical Characteristics and Operating Conditions

A key advantage of this model is its high dielectric strength. The cable has passed a test with a test voltage of 4 kV, confirming its ability to operate safely in circuits with a rated voltage of 300/500 V. The high level of insulation provides an additional safety margin, protecting the installation against breakdowns even under difficult operating conditions. A small outer diameter while maintaining a large conductor cross-section (in this case 4 x 25 mm²) directly translates into space savings in cable ducts and distribution cabinets – this is important for designers trying to accommodate a large number of lines in limited space.

The cable is suitable for use in dry and damp rooms, as well as outdoors (provided it is protected against direct UV radiation). However, it is not suitable for installation underground or in water without additional mechanical protection. The flexible construction allows for installation without the need for specialized supports, and the PVC insulation resistance means the cable does not require additional mechanical protection in standard industrial environments.

Benefits for the Installer and End User

By choosing this model, the installer gains confidence in the quality of workmanship in accordance with LAPP KABEL SP.Z O.O. standards, which translates into fewer complaints and faster project completion. The end user receives a product that will perform its functions for years without degradation of electrical parameters.

Main advantages of application:

• Protection against interference: The shielded copper braid eliminates the risk of data transmission errors caused by electromagnetic fields generated by motors or frequency inverters.
• Ease of installation: Black conductors with clear numbering allow for quick and precise connection of even the most extensive control systems.
• Space saving: Compact construction with large conductor cross-sections facilitates packing multiple cables into a single cable tray.
• Mechanical durability: PVC insulation resistance to oils and abrasion increases the service life of installations in production halls.
• Electrical safety: High test voltage (4 kV) guarantees stable operation at a working voltage of 500 V even during temporary voltage spikes.

Despite the high flexibility of the construction, it should be remembered that this cable is intended for stationary or semi-stationary applications where there is no continuous dynamic movement at very high speeds. In such specific movement conditions, it is worth considering dedicated series of cables for continuous movement, whereas for most standard control circuits, the described model constitutes a proven and reliable technical solution.
