Shielded control/data transmission cable UNITRONIC LiYCY 18x0.5 0034618

Control/data transmission cable – reliability and signal protection

The UNITRONIC LiYCY cable is a shielded control and data transmission cable designed for use in dry and humid indoor environments. Its construction provides high flexibility and resistance to mechanical factors, making it an ideal choice for both installers and end-users. This cable is widely used in machines and equipment, automation systems, and installations where protection against electromagnetic interference is required.

Construction and properties

The UNITRONIC LiYCY cable consists of 18 copper conductors with a cross-section of 0.5 mm², insulated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The conductors are twisted into bundles, which facilitates identification and connection. The whole is surrounded by a shielding braid, minimizing electromagnetic interference and ensuring stable signal transmission. The outer PVC coating provides additional mechanical protection and moisture resistance. Thanks to this, the cable performs well in various working conditions, in the temperature range from -40°C to +80°C (after installation) and from -5°C to +70°C during installation.

Applications and benefits

• Wide range of applications: ideal for machines, equipment, automation systems, industrial and building installations.
• Shielding: the shielding braid effectively reduces electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable signal transmission. This is particularly important in environments with high interference levels.
• Flexibility: the flexible construction with multi-strand conductors class 5 makes it easy to lay and connect the cable even in tight spaces.
• Resistance: the outer PVC coating protects against moisture and mechanical damage, ensuring long-term operation.
• Conductor identification: color-coded conductors facilitate correct connection and minimize the risk of errors during installation.
• Compliance with standards: fire reaction class Eca ensures safe use in various applications.
• Optimal cross-section: conductor cross-section of 0.5 mm² allows for transmission of control signals and powering devices with low power consumption.
• Weight: 239 kg/km – important information when planning installations and transporting large quantities of cable.
• Minimum bending radius: 70.8 mm (fixed installations) and 177 mm (flexible installations) – helps avoid mechanical damage during installation and operation.
