LAPP ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 25 Core 1 sq mm Flexible Control Cable – CE & RoHS Certified German Quality

Is Your Cable Failing You in Harsh Conditions?

You know the struggle. You buy cheap control cables for your machinery or wind turbine projects. At first, they work fine. But soon, the outer jacket cracks. The insulation gets brittle in the cold. Or worse, the cable isn’t flexible enough for moving parts, and it breaks after a few thousand cycles. You face downtime. You face replacement costs. And worst of all, your clients reject the shipment because it lacks proper EU certifications like CE or RoHS.You need a cable that doesn’t quit. You need a cable built for the real world—damp, oily, and rough environments. You need German engineering that guarantees performance.This is where the LAPP ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 steps in. It is not just a wire. It is the industry standard for power and control. Specifically, the 25-core 1 sq mm flexible control cable is designed to solve your headache. It is robust, flexible, and fully compliant with European standards. Let’s look at why this specific cable is the best choice for your export business.

What Makes the 25-Core 1 sq mm ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 Special?

This cable is a legend in the industrial world. LAPP invented the first flexible control cable in 1959. The ÖLFLEX® brand is synonymous with quality. The CLASSIC 110 series is their best-seller for a reason. It is a multi-conductor cable that handles power and control signals in one package.

Unmatched Flexibility and Durability

The “G” in the part number stands for flexible. This cable uses fine-wire stranding made of bare copper (Class 5 according to IEC 60228). This means the wires inside are made of many tiny copper threads, not one thick solid wire. This design allows the cable to bend and twist without breaking.For the 25-core version, this is critical. With 25 conductors, a stiff cable is a nightmare to install. But this cable has a minimum bending radius of just 10 times the outer diameter for occasional movement. If you use it in energy chains (cable carriers), it can handle up to 1 million bending cycles. It is perfect for moving machine parts, conveyors, and cranes.

Superior Resistance to Oil and Chemicals

Your clients in factories use hydraulic oils and coolants. Standard PVC cables swell up and die when they touch oil. The ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 uses a special PVC compound (TI2 for insulation and TM2 for the sheath). It is oil-resistant according to DIN EN 50290-2-22. It also resists acids and alkalis. You can install it in wet pits or chemical plants without worry.

Safety First: Flame Retardant

Fire safety is non-negotiable. This cable is flame-retardant according to IEC 60332-1-2. If a short circuit causes a fire, this cable does not spread the flame. It is also VDE-registered, which is a huge trust signal for European buyers.

Technical Specifications: The Numbers You Need

When you quote your client, you need exact data. Here is the breakdown for the specific article number 1119025 (25 G 0.5 / 25 cores at 0.5 mm² is common, but we focus on the 1 sq mm variant details below based on the 110 series specs).Note: The specific 25-core 1 sq mm variant falls under the high-core count category. Below are the precise specs for the 25-core configuration in the CLASSIC 110 series.

Note on Sizing: While the most popular 25-core is 0.5 mm² (1119025), the 1 sq mm version offers lower resistance and higher current capacity. If your client needs to push more power through the control lines, the 1 sq mm is the upgrade. The outer diameter will be slightly larger (around 14-15mm vs 12.4mm).

Where Can You Use This Cable? (Application Scenarios)

You might ask, “Is this cable right for my specific project?” The truth is, the German LAPP 25-core flexible cable is a “Swiss Army Knife” for industrial wiring. Here are the top scenarios where it shines:

Wind Turbine Generators (WTG)

This is a high-value niche. Wind turbines face constant vibration and twisting (torsion). The ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 is specifically tested for torsional applications. It is used in the loop of the nacelle and for control circuits in the tower. It handles the cold winters of Northern Europe and the heat of the generator room. If you are supplying to the renewable energy sector, this cable is a must-have SKU.

Industrial Machinery and Plant Engineering

Think about a car assembly line. Robots move. Conveyor belts spin. Sensors send signals. You need a cable that moves with the machine. The EU CE and RoHS certified flexible cable is perfect for connecting control cabinets to machine tools. It is also great for heating and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in large commercial buildings.

Food and Beverage Processing

Wait, PVC in food areas? Yes, but only the right kind. While direct food contact has stricter rules, the ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 is often used for washdown areas and packaging machinery because it is easy to clean and resists water and cleaning chemicals.

Mobile Motors and Generators

For portable generators or mining equipment, you need tough cable. The grey PVC sheath is tough against abrasion. It resists being dragged over rocks or metal shards.

Why Buy German LAPP? The Brand Advantage

You are a trading company. Your reputation depends on the quality of the goods you ship. If you ship a generic cable that fails, your client blames you. If you ship LAPP, you are shipping peace of mind.LAPP is not a budget brand. It is a premium German manufacturer. When your client sees the LAPP logo on the cable jacket, they know it meets VDE standards. They know it passed the UL Oil Resistance test. They know it has a consistent copper weight (no cheating on copper content).For the export market, having the CE mark and RoHS compliance is your ticket to entry. You don’t have to worry about customs holds in the EU. The documentation is clean. The testing is done.Also, LAPP offers transparency. They publish the copper index (kg/km) right in the datasheet. For the 25-core 1 sq mm, you know exactly how much copper is inside. This helps you price your job accurately without guessing.

Installation and Handling Tips for Your Clients

To add value, you can advise your clients on installation. Even the best cable fails if installed wrong.

1. Bending Radius: Remind them not to kink the cable. The minimum bend is 10x the diameter for occasional moves and 15x for chain use. For a 15mm cable, that is 150mm radius. Don’t bend it sharp!
2. Storage: Keep the cable reels in a dry place. If stored outside, cover them. UV resistance is “good” but not infinite for PVC.
3. Stripping: Use proper stripping tools. Because the conductors are fine-stranded, nicking the copper reduces the current capacity.
4. Grounding: This cable usually comes with a Green/Yellow protective conductor (the ‘G’ in the specs). Make sure it is connected properly to the earth bar for safety.
