Is your control system letting you down?
You know the feeling. You have a high-end machine or a complex charging station setup. But the signal keeps dropping. The cables are too stiff to fit into tight conduits. Or worse, the outer sheath cracks after a few weeks of oil exposure. You need a cable that works hard, stays flexible, and lasts for years. You don’t want “good enough.” You want German engineering that solves these headaches before they start. This is the Imported German-made 5-core 6 sq mm oxygen-free copper wire control cable. It is the ultra-thin HELUKABEL 5G6 solution built for real-world chaos.
What makes this cable special?
This is not just a generic wire. It is a precision tool for your electrical system. We use high-purity oxygen-free copper. This means less resistance and better signal quality. The structure is designed for movement. It resists oil, flames, and UV rays. It fits where other cables fail.
The Copper Core Difference
The heart of this cable is the conductor. We use bare copper wire that is finely stranded. It meets DIN VDE 0295 Class 5 standards. This is not a solid rod that snaps when you bend it. It is made of many tiny wires twisted together. This gives it extreme flexibility.
Why Oxygen-Free Copper Matters
Oxygen in copper creates oxidation. Oxidation leads to heat and signal loss. Our oxygen-free copper stays clean. It conducts electricity better. Your machines run cooler. Your data signals travel further without noise. This is critical for long transmission distances in instrumentation and control tech.
Smart Insulation and Sheath
The inside of the cable uses a special PVC compound. We call it Z 7225. It is optimized for electrical performance. The outer sheath is tough. It is a PVC type TM2 compound. It resists chemicals and oil.
Ultra-Thin Design Saves Space
Space is money. In control cabinets, every millimeter counts. This 5G6 cable has an outer diameter of about 14.5mm to 15.8mm. It is compact. You can fit more wires in the same tray. Installation is faster. You save time and labor costs.
Safety First: Flame Retardant
Safety is not optional. This cable is flame retardant. It passes the DIN EN 60332-1 test. If a fire starts, the cable does not spread the flame. It is also halogen-free. This means it does not release toxic smoke when burned. It is safe for use in public buildings, hospitals, and underground garages.

Where can you use this cable?
This cable is a workhorse. It fits many industries. You will find it in places where reliability is non-negotiable.
Industrial Automation and Machinery
This is the home turf for HELUKABEL 5G6. Use it in machine tools, assembly lines, and conveyor belts. It handles free movement without tensile stress. It connects motors to controllers. It sends signals from sensors to PLCs. It resists the oil and coolants found on factory floors.
E-Mobility and Charging Stations
Electric vehicles need power and data. This cable is perfect for EV charging points. It handles the high current and the communication signals. The UV-resistant sheath handles outdoor weather. The oil resistance handles garage floors. It is the ideal cable for public charge stations near highways or in parking garages.
Building and Construction
Use it for fixed wiring in dry, damp, or wet rooms. It is great for air-conditioning tech and smelters. The flame-retardant properties make it safe for wiring inside walls or in cable trays. It is CPR standard E rated for construction products.
Oil and Gas Industry
For low-level instrumentation, this cable works well. It has low mutual capacitance. This means signals don’t interfere with each other over long distances. It meets PAS 5308 standards for oil and gas environments.
Why choose the German-made HELUKABEL?
You have many choices. Why pick this one? Because it is built to a higher standard.
Precision Manufacturing
German cables are made with tight tolerances. The diameter is consistent. The copper purity is verified. You get a product that performs exactly as the datasheet says. No surprises.
Longevity and Durability
Cheap cables crack and corrode. This cable uses high-quality PVC compounds. They are free from silicone and cadmium. They don’t harm the wetting properties of lacquers. This means it lasts 10, 15, or 20 years. It is a one-time investment.
EMC Protection
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a buzzword for a real problem: noise. This cable has high screening coverage. It keeps outside noise out. It keeps your signals inside. This prevents errors in sensitive computer systems and robotics.
Easy Installation
The ultra-thin design makes pulling wire easy. It has a meter marking. You don’t need to guess the length. The flexible stranding means it goes around corners without force. Your electricians will finish the job faster.
