Shielded twisted pair control/data transmission cable YKSLYekw-P-Nr 500V 2x2x0.5 gray 0638 031 10

Shielded Control Cable – Reliability in Automation and Control Systems

This shielded control/data transmission cable, designated as YKSLYekw-P-Nr, is specifically designed for demanding industrial environments and automation systems. Intended for transmitting control signals, safety signals, and power, it ensures stable and secure data transmission. The cable stands out for its flexibility and mechanical durability, facilitating installation even in confined spaces.

This cable is particularly suitable where minimizing electromagnetic interference is critical. Thanks to its static shield, it effectively protects signals from external electric fields and prevents emission of interference into the surrounding environment. The twisted pair construction further reduces mutual coupling between conductors, resulting in higher signal quality.

Construction and Applications

The YKSLYekw-P-Nr cable consists of several key components:

• Conductors: Flexible, multi-strand, copper (tin-plated upon request), with a cross-section of 0.5 mm².
• Insulation: Insulating polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in colors compliant with PN-92/T-90321 standard, or black and brown with white numbering print for pair identification.
• Twisted Pairs: Insulated conductors twisted into pairs to minimize interference.
• Shield: Common static shield made of metallized laminated foil with an earth drain wire for enhanced safety.
• Jacket: Black rubber-grade PVC, oil-resistant (special versions available).

This construction makes the cable ideal for indoor applications, both in fixed and mobile installations. The availability of an oil-resistant version (TECHNOKONTROL YKSLYekw-P-O) extends its use to environments exposed to hydrocarbon substances—e.g., fuel stations or storage facilities. Additional versions are available with enhanced flame retardancy (YnKSLYekw-P) and for direct burial in soil (YvKSLYekw-P).

Key Features and Benefits

• Shielding: Provides protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable data transmission.
• Flexibility: Facilitates installation even in hard-to-reach locations.
• Mechanical Durability: Ensures long-term, reliable operation.
• Twisted Pairs: Reduce crosstalk between signals, improving transmission quality.
• Special Versions Available: Allows customization for specific operating conditions (oil resistance, flame retardancy, direct burial).
• Compliance with Standards: Ensures safety and reliability. The cable meets requirements of PN-EN 60228 for conductors, PN-EN 60811-2-1 for oil-resistant versions, and PN-EN 60332-3 for flame-retardant versions.
