Are you tired of signal interference ruining your machine’s performance? Do your cables crack or break when bent in tight spaces? Is downtime costing you money because of cheap wire that can’t handle industrial stress? You need a cable that works as hard as you do. In the world of factory automation and heavy machinery, a weak wire is not just an annoyance. It is a risk. It causes errors in your PLC systems. It stops your conveyor belts. It creates noise in your sensitive audio or data lines. You need a solution that stops electromagnetic noise and survives harsh conditions. This is where the German-made ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 CY 5-core 0.5mm² shielded control cable comes in. It is built for tough jobs. It is flexible, strong, and reliable. It is the standard for engineers who want quality without the headache.
The Ultimate Solution for Industrial Control
This cable is not just a piece of wire. It is a complete system for power and control. The “110 CY” means it has a special transparent outer sheath. This sheath is tough. It resists oils and chemicals. It also lets you see the cores inside. This makes installation easy. You can check for damage without cutting the cable. The core of this product is the shielding. It uses a tinned copper braid. This braid wraps around the cores. It stops outside noise from getting in. It also stops your signals from leaking out. This is vital for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility). If you work near other machines, this shield keeps your data clean. The conductor is made of fine-stranded bare copper. This is Class 5 flexing. It means the wire bends easily. You can move it. You can twist it. It will not snap. It is perfect for places where the cable moves a little bit. But it is not for constant pulling. It is for free movement without stress.
Technical Specifications You Can Trust
When you buy industrial cable, numbers matter. You need to know if it fits your gland. You need to know if it carries the current. Here are the hard facts for the 5-core 0.5mm² version:
- Conductor: Bare copper, fine-wired (Class 5 according to VDE 0295/IEC 60228).
- Cross-Section: 0.5 mm² per core.
- Number of Cores: 5 (including the protective earth conductor).
- Nominal Outer Diameter: 8.4 mm.
- Weight: Approximately 112 kg/km.
- Voltage Rating: 300/500 V (U0/U).
- Test Voltage: 4000 V (high safety standard).
- Bending Radius (Fixed): 6 times the outer diameter (about 50.4 mm). Do not bend it tighter than this when installing in a wall or tray.
- Bending Radius (Occasionally Moved): 20 times the outer diameter (about 168 mm). This is for when the cable is moving loosely.
- Temperature Range (Fixed): -40°C to +80°C. It handles cold warehouses and hot engine rooms.
- Temperature Range (Flexing): -5°C to +70°C.
- Sheath Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), transparent, grey (RAL 7001).
- Flame Retardant: Yes, according to IEC 60332-1-2. It does not spread fire.
- Oil Resistance: The PVC sheath has limited oil resistance. It is good for accidental spills. It is not for constant immersion in oil.
- Shielding: Tinned copper braid. Low transfer impedance (max 250 Ω/km at 30 MHz).
- Markings: Black cores with white numbers. This follows VDE 0293-1. You know exactly which wire is which.
Where to Use This Cable
You might ask, “Is this the right cable for my job?” The answer is yes if you work in industry. This German-made 5-core 0.5 sq mm shielded control cable is a workhorse. It fits many places. Here are the top uses:
- Factory Automation & Control Panels: Connect your PLCs, relays, and sensors. The shield stops noise from motors messing up your logic.
- CNC Machines & Machine Tools: These places have lots of movement and oil. The flexible sheath resists abrasion. The oil-resistant jacket handles the coolant splashes.
- Conveyor & Transport Systems: Cables on conveyors get pulled and twisted. The fine-stranded copper handles this motion. It lasts longer than solid wire.
- Heating & Air-Conditioning (HVAC): The PVC sheath handles the temperature changes. It is also self-extinguishing for safety in buildings.
- Wind Turbines (WKA): This cable is famous for the “torsional load” in wind turbine loops. It twists thousands of times without failing.
- Audio & Instrumentation: If you need a clean signal for broadcast or labs, the shield is essential. It keeps the hum out.
Why Choose ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 CY?
There are many cheap cables on the market. Why pay for this one? Because it saves money in the long run. Cheap cables fail. They cause short circuits. They stop the line. This cable is VDE registered. It meets European standards. It is CE marked and RoHS compliant. You can sell your machine to Europe with this cable inside. It has a pressure-extruded jacket. This makes it very flexible. You can pull it through tight conduits easily. It saves installation time. The transparent sheath is a bonus for maintenance. You can see if the core is damaged. You do not need to guess. It is a “fit and forget” solution. It resists acids and alkalis. It is tough against chemicals in a factory. It is not halogen-free, but it is very safe for standard industrial use. It is the high-quality alternative to basic YY or YSLY cables.
Installation Tips for Best Results
To get the best life out of your oil-resistant flexible wire, follow simple rules. Do not pull it by the wire itself. Use a strain relief gland. Make sure the bending radius is right. If you bend it too sharp, you damage the shield. This lets noise in. Keep it away from direct UV sunlight if possible. PVC can get brittle in the sun over years. If you use it outside, put it in a UV-resistant conduit. For EMC, make sure you ground the shield correctly on both ends. This creates a “Faraday cage” effect. It blocks the interference.Ready to upgrade your wiring system? Do not settle for second-best. Get the cable that engineers trust.
