German Standard LIYCY 2-Core 0.75mm² & 1.00mm² Shielded Control Cable – Flexible PVC Sheathed Signal Wire for EMI Protection

Is Electrical Noise Ruining Your Equipment? Stop Signal Loss and Interference Today

You know the feeling. You install a new sensor or a control system, and everything seems perfect. But then, the data jumps around. The screen flickers. The motor starts and stops on its own. This is electromagnetic interference (EMI), and it is a nightmare for engineers and factory managers.You try to fix it with standard wires, but they are too thick to fit in the cabinet. They pick up noise from the next machine. They crack when you bend them. You need a cable that fights back against noise. You need a cable that fits in tight spaces. You need a cable that is built tough but bends easy.This is why we bring you the German-engineered UNITRONIC® LIYCY shielded cable. It is not just a wire. It is a shield for your signals. Whether you are connecting a computer to a PLC, powering a sensor, or wiring a control panel, this 2-core cable stops interference dead in its tracks.

What Makes LIYCY The Gold Standard for Industrial Wiring?

LIYCY is the industry code for a specific type of data and control cable. It comes from the German VDE standards. This is not a cheap generic wire. This is a precision-made tool for your electrical system.The “LI” means it is a flexible cable for data transmission. The “Y” stands for PVC insulation. The “C” means it has a copper braid shield. The “Y” at the end means it has a PVC outer sheath. So, you get a flexible wire with a plastic coat, wrapped in a copper mesh, all inside a tough plastic jacket.Why does this matter? Because modern factories are full of “electrical noise.” Motors, welders, and even fluorescent lights create invisible waves that mess up your sensitive data. The LIYCY cable acts like a cage. It catches this noise and drains it to the ground. Your signal stays clean. Your machine runs smooth.

Inside The Cable: A Fortress Against Noise

Let’s look under the skin of this cable. We are looking at the 2-core version with a 0.75mm² or 1.00mm² cross-section.The ConductorThe core is made of bare copper. It is not a solid rod. It is made of many tiny wires twisted together (stranded). This is Class 5 flexibility. It means you can pull it through conduits with many bends without breaking it. For the 0.75mm² version, the copper weight is about 38 kg per kilometer. For the 1.00mm² version, it is even heavier. More copper means better power and less resistance.The InsulationEach copper core is wrapped in its own PVC insulation. This is color-coded. Usually, you will see a brown core and a blue core. This follows the DIN 47100 standard. You always know which wire is which. No more guessing games when you are wiring a terminal block.The Shield – The Secret WeaponThis is the most important part. Between the inner wires and the outer jacket, there is a double defense system:

1. Aluminum Foil: A thin layer of foil wraps the cores. It blocks high-frequency noise.
2. Tinned Copper Braid: Over the foil, there is a woven mesh of tinned copper. This catches low-frequency interference and mechanical stress.

This “dual screen” ensures electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It stops your cable from sending noise out, and it stops outside noise from getting in.The Outer SheathThe whole package is wrapped in a special PVC mixture. It is grey (RAL 7032). It is tough against oil, acids, and abrasion. It is also flame-retardant according to VDE 0472 and IEC 60332-1-2. If a fire starts, this cable does not help it spread.

Technical Specifications: The Numbers You Need

When you buy industrial cable, you need exact numbers to fit your design. Here is the data for the 2-core LIYCY cable we supply:

Note on Sizes:The 0.75mm² cable is the “sweet spot” for most signal and low-power tasks. It is light and very flexible. The 1.00mm² version is better if you need to send power over a longer distance (up to 30 meters) while still carrying a signal. It has less voltage drop.

Why This Cable Solves Your Headaches

1. It Fits Where Others Don’tControl cabinets are getting smaller. Space is expensive. The LIYCY cable has a very slim outer diameter (only 6mm for the 2×0.75). The bending radius is small (5 times the diameter). You can snake it around tight corners without kinking the signal. You save space. You save time on installation.2. It Stops “Crosstalk”Have you ever had two cables running next to each other, and one messes up the other? That is crosstalk. Because this cable is shielded, it keeps its signals inside. You can run power cables and data cables in the same tray (with some separation), and they won’t fight each other.3. It Lasts ForeverThe PVC sheath is UV resistant. You can use it outdoors (with conduit) or in damp rooms. The tensile strength is high (not less than 10 N/mm²). If you accidentally tug it during installation, the inner wires won’t snap. It resists oil and chemicals. It is built for the factory floor, not a clean room.4. It Is SafeThe flame-retardant properties are critical. In a short circuit, the cable chars but does not burn easily. This buys you time to shut down the system before a fire spreads. It meets strict European safety standards.

Where To Use This Cable (Real World Scenarios)

You might ask, “Is this the right cable for my job?” Here are the top places we sell this cable:Computer and Office EquipmentConnecting servers, printers, and scanners in an industrial office. The shield stops the Wi-Fi and computer noise from leaking out.Process Control (PLC/DCS)This is the big one. Connecting sensors (temperature, pressure) to the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The 4-20mA signal is very weak. Without a shield like LIYCY, your readings will drift. The shield keeps the reading accurate.Communications and BroadcastUsed in audio systems, intercoms, and low-voltage data lines. It keeps the audio clear without that annoying “hum” or “buzz.”Signal and Broadcast CabinetsInside the big metal boxes where all the wires meet. It is the perfect “patch cable” to jump from one terminal to another.RoboticsRobot arms move a lot. The cable needs to flex millions of times. While not a continuous flex cable, the LIYCY is great for the control wiring inside the arm that doesn’t bend as much as the power cables.Power Supply for Small DevicesYou can use the 0.75mm² or 1.00mm² to power small 24V DC devices like solenoid valves or indicator lights. The second core can be used for the return path or a second voltage.

Don’t Settle for Cheap Imitations

You can find cheap “shielded” cables on the market. But look closely. Many use aluminum or steel for the braid. These rust easily and don’t shield well.Our LIYCY cable uses tinned copper braid. Tin does not rust. It stays conductive for decades. The foil is 100% coverage. We don’t cut corners on the shield because that is the whole point of the product.We import this directly from German-standard mills (like Lapp Group). You get the VDE quality without the European markup price. We cut it to length (100m drums, 50m reels, or custom cuts) so you don’t pay for waste.
