Stop losing money on cheap cables that crack and break
You know the feeling. Your production line stops. The maintenance team finds a cable that cracked again. It happens all the time. Cheap cables look good on paper, but they fail in real life. They get stiff in the cold. They crack when bent. They short out when oil touches them. This costs you more than just a cable. It costs you time, lost production, and angry customers. You need a power cord that works every day, even in tough spots. You need a cable that bends without breaking and lasts for years.
The ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 3G2.5 is the solution you need
This is not just a wire. This is a German-engineered power cord from LAPPKABLE. It is part of the famous ÖLFLEX® family. We have made these cables since 1959. We know what works. The 3G2.5 model is a 3-core cable with 2.5mm² copper wires. It is the perfect size for medium-duty machines. It carries power safely to motors, controls, and sensors. It is flexible, strong, and built for the factory floor. When you use this cable, you buy peace of mind. You buy reliability.

Why choose LAPPKABLE over other brands
There are many cable brands. Why pick us?1. Real German QualityWe do not cut corners. Our factory in Stuttgart sets the standard. Every meter of ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 is tested. We use high-purity copper. Cheap cables use recycled copper. Our copper conducts better and heats less.2. It Stays FlexibleSome cables get hard like a rock. Ours stays soft. You can install it in cold warehouses. It does not crack. It is easy to strip and connect. This saves your electricians time.3. Chemical and Oil ResistanceFactories are dirty. Oil, grease, and acid eat through bad cables. Our PVC sheath fights back. It protects the copper inside. This means fewer short circuits and fires.4. Global TrustWe sell in 152 countries. Big companies like Siemens and robot makers use our cables. If it is good enough for them, it is good enough for you.
Technical deep dive: How it is built
You want to know the inside details. Here is the layer-by-layer build:The ConductorWe use Class 5 flexible copper strands. This means many thin wires twisted together. It is not a solid rod. This design stops the cable from snapping when you bend it. It handles vibration well.The InsulationEach core has its own color-coded insulation. We use PVC. It holds the electricity in. It also resists heat up to 70°C. For short bursts, it handles 160°C. This is vital for safety.The Shield (Optional)The standard 110 model usually has no shield. But we offer screened versions (CY) if you have high interference. This stops noise from other machines messing up your signals.The Outer SheathThe gray jacket is the armor. It protects against mechanical stress. It is flame retardant. If a fire starts, it does not spread the flame. It meets IEC 60332-1 standards.
Easy installation and handling
You do not need special tools to install this. It strips easily with a standard knife. It crimps well with lugs. Because it is flexible, you can route it through tight cable chains (drag chains).Drag Chain UseIf you use it in a moving chain, keep it relaxed. Do not pull it too tight. Let it move freely. The 2.5mm² size is light. It does not weigh down the chain. This helps your machine move faster and use less energy.Outdoor UseThe standard gray PVC is good for indoor and shaded outdoor use. It resists UV light for a while. If you need long-term sun exposure, ask us about the black version (SY) or special UV-resistant types.
Safety first: Certifications and Standards
Safety is not a joke. A bad cable can kill someone or burn down a factory. Our cable is safe.
- VDE: The German standard for electrical safety.
- UL/CSA: The standard for North America.
- CE: Required for Europe.
- RoHS: No toxic heavy metals. Safe for the environment.
- ISO 9001: We follow strict quality rules.
When you buy this, you get a cable that passes inspection. You never have to worry about the inspector rejecting your wiring.

- Cheap cable price: 1.00permeter.Life:6months.Downtimecost:500 per hour.
- LAPPKABLE price: 2.50permeter.Life:10years.Downtimecost:0.
The math is easy. The cheap cable costs you way more in the long run. Our cable is an investment. It keeps your plant running. It saves you repair bills. It is the professional choice.
