Signal cable YKSLYekw-P 0.6/1 kV 3×2×0.5 mm² black 0324 002 05

Signal cable for control and automation systems

The YKSLYekw-P 0.6/1 kV signal cable is a flexible, shielded solution designed for use in power system control, protection, and automation applications. It performs reliably in both power-supply and signal-control installations. The twisted-pair construction minimizes mutual interference between transmitted signals, resulting in higher data transmission quality.

A key feature of the cable is its common static shield, which effectively protects against electromagnetic interference from external sources and prevents emission of disturbances into the surrounding environment. This ensures stable and reliable operation of equipment in high-noise environments. Additionally, high flexibility and mechanical robustness facilitate installation and operation even under demanding conditions.

Construction and application

YKSLYekw-P cables feature a meticulous construction that guarantees durability and reliability. Conductors are made of soft copper strands (zinc-coated option available), ensuring excellent conductivity and flexibility. Insulation of the conductors is made from insulating PVC and is available in various colors to simplify identification of individual wires. Conductors are twisted into pairs and layered in a central core, enhancing immunity to interference. The core is wrapped with a polyester tape for additional mechanical protection. The entire assembly is enclosed in a common static shield and an outer sheath of black rubber-grade PVC.

These cables are suitable for fixed installation as well as mobile connections within buildings. The sheath exhibits good resistance to oils, expanding the range of applications. Special variants are also available: oil-resistant (YKSLYekw-P-O), enhanced flame-retardant (YnKSLYekw-P), and direct-burial versions (YvKSLYekw-P).

Parameters and specifications

This specific model – YKSLYekw-P 0.6/1 kV 3x2x0.5 – features 6 conductors with a cross-section of 0.5 mm². According to the manufacturer’s table (Technokabel), the cable has a diameter of approximately 9.7 mm and a weight of about 100 kg/km. Note that these parameters may vary slightly depending on operating conditions. The twisted-pair construction provides superior signal separation compared to traditional cables without this design.
