Are you tired of cables that break, lose signal, or get ruined by oil?
You know the struggle. You buy a cable that looks good on paper. But once you put it in your machine, it fails. It gets stiff. The signal drops because of noise. Oil leaks onto it, and the jacket cracks. Then your whole production line stops. You lose money every minute the machine is down. You need a cable that works hard and lasts long. You need a cable that doesn’t quit when the job gets tough. This is why we bring you the German LEONI 10-core twisted pair cable. It is built for the real world. It handles movement, chemicals, and electrical noise without breaking a sweat.
What makes this LEONI cable special?
LEONI is a giant in the cable world. They are based in Germany but make cables all over the globe. They know how to make wires that last. This specific cable is not just a piece of copper. It is a high-tech solution. It uses the famous LEONI Dacar® technology. This tech is made for fast data and power. The cable has 10 cores. Each core is 0.5 square millimeters. This is about 20AWG in American wire gauge size. This size is perfect. It is thick enough to carry power and data, but thin enough to bend easily. The wires are twisted in pairs. This helps cancel out noise from other machines. It also has double shielding. This means two layers of protection against electrical interference.
Let’s look at the technical details
You need to know exactly what you are buying. Here is the breakdown of the specs. This cable is designed to meet high standards like ISO 6722 and SAE J1128. These are rules for vehicle and industrial cables.
Core and Conductor Specs
- Number of Cores: 10 Cores
- Cross-Section: 0.5 mm² (Equivalent to 20AWG)
- Conductor Material: Bare copper (or tinned copper on request)
- Stranding: Fine wire stranding. This makes the cable very flexible. It can bend millions of times without the copper breaking inside.
- Insulation: Foamed Polyethylene (PE) or PETP. This material is great for data. It keeps the signal strong even at high speeds.
Shielding and Protection
- Shielding Type: Double Shielded (Double Screened)
- Inner Shield: Aluminum foil (100% coverage). This blocks high-frequency noise.
- Outer Shield: Tinned copper braid (about 85% to 95% coverage). This blocks low-frequency noise and grounds the cable.
- Jacket Material: Polyurethane (PUR) or special PVC. We use PUR for high oil resistance.
- Jacket Color: Usually black or orange, but we can customize.
- Outer Diameter: Approx 8.0mm to 12mm depending on the jacket thickness.
Performance Data
- Impedance: Controlled impedance (around 100 Ohms or 150 Ohms depending on pair usage). This is vital for data cables like CAN bus or Ethernet.
- Voltage: Rated for up to 100V (peak).
- Temperature Range: -40°C to +105°C (some versions go to +150°C). It works in freezing cold and hot engine bays.
- Bending Radius: Can bend as tight as 10 times the outer diameter. It moves freely in drag chains.
- Oil and Chemical Resistance: The jacket resists oils, fuels, and coolants. It won’t get sticky or crumble.
- Abrasion Resistance: The outer layer is tough. It rubs against metal or other cables without wearing out.
Where can you use this cable?
This cable is not just for one thing. It is a multi-talent. You can use it in many places. The high flexibility and shielding make it perfect for moving parts.
Industrial Automation and Robotics
Robots move a lot. Their arms twist and turn. Standard cables snap in these joints. This LEONI cable is built for “continuous flex” applications. It is great for control cabinets, servo motors, and sensor connections. If you have a drag chain (cable carrier), this is the cable to use. It passes the 5 million bending cycle test. This means it can move back and forth 5 million times and still work.
Automotive and Vehicle Manufacturing
LEONI is a top supplier for car makers. This cable fits right into modern cars. It is perfect for:
- ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems): Cameras and radar sensors need clean data. The double shield stops noise from the engine.
- Infotainment: For screens and audio systems.
- Engine Control Units (ECU): Connecting the brain of the car to the engine.
- Car-to-X Communication: For future tech where cars talk to each other.
Heavy Machinery and Off-Highway
Trucks, excavators, and farm equipment work in dirt and mud. They have high vibration. The oil-resistant jacket protects the cable from hydraulic fluid leaks. The abrasion-resistant jacket stops rocks from cutting the wire. It is also great for submersible applications in some designs.
Data and Bus Systems
Because of the twisted pair and impedance control, this cable is great for data. You can use it for:
- CAN Bus (Controller Area Network)
- PROFIBUS
- Industrial Ethernet (100Base-T1)
- Foundation Fieldbus
Why choose LEONI? The Quality Difference
You might find cheaper cables. But cheap cables cost you more in the long run. LEONI has been around since the 1910s. They invented the FLRY cable that became the standard for cars. They focus on “Lean” manufacturing. This means less waste and better quality. They test every batch with RF measurement technology. This ensures the impedance is correct. If the impedance is wrong, your data will be slow or fail. LEONI also cares about the planet. They have the LIMEVERSE line. This uses bio-based materials to cut the CO2 footprint. When you buy LEONI, you buy German engineering. You buy reliability. You buy a cable that won’t let you down.
