LAPP ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 3-Core 1.5mm² Flexible Control Cable | CE & RoHS Certified | 500V | Gray PVC Sheath | 100m or Custom Length

Is your machinery wiring causing costly downtime and safety headaches?

You know the feeling. You install a standard cable in your control panel or on a moving machine part. It looks good on day one. But soon, the constant vibration starts to crack the insulation. The cable gets stiff and breaks when the machine arm moves. Or worse, it fails a safety inspection because it doesn’t have the right certifications.These problems cost money. Every hour a machine is down for repairs is lost production. Using cheap, non-certified wire puts your equipment and your team at risk of short circuits or fire. You need a cable that moves with the machine, resists oil and chemicals, and passes every inspection without question.This is why engineers choose the LAPP ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 3-core 1.5mm² flexible control cable. It is not just a wire. It is a reliable partner for your industrial automation. It solves the headache of frequent replacements and safety worries. Let’s look at why this specific cable is the smart choice for your factory.

What makes the ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 series special?

This cable is a legend in the industry. LAPP makes it in Germany, so you get top-quality engineering. The “CLASSIC 110” series is famous for being tough but flexible. Here is what you get when you choose this imported German LAPP cable:

Extreme flexibility for moving parts

The “LC” in some LAPP cables means fine stranding, but the CLASSIC 110 uses a special stranding technique (Class 5 fine wire). This makes the 3-core 1.5 sq mm flexible 110 series cable very easy to bend. You can use it in drag chains (cable carriers) or on torsion applications like wind turbines. It won’t break even if it moves millions of times.

Strong protection against the environment

Factories are dirty places. There is oil, grease, and cooling fluid everywhere. Standard cables get soft and rot when they touch oil. The ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 has a special PVC outer sheath. It resists oil and acids. It also handles alkaline solutions well. If you are in a food processing plant, it even resists ECOLAB® cleaning agents.

Safety first with high voltage rating

Control circuits usually run at lower voltages, but spikes happen. This cable has a nominal voltage of 500V (U0/U 300/500V). But it is tested at 4000V. That is a huge safety margin. It also has a flame-retardant sheath. If a fire starts, the cable does not spread the flame (IEC 60332-1-2 standard).

Saves space and weight

The wall thickness is optimized. It is not too thick, but it is strong enough. This means you can fit more wires in your conduit or cable chain. The 3-core 1.5mm² version weighs about 84 kg per km. It is light enough not to weigh down moving machine parts.

Technical Specifications: The numbers you need

When you buy industrial wire, you need exact data. Here is the technical sheet for the LAPP ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 3G1.5 (Article Number 1119303). You can compare this with your current supplier.

Where should you use this cable?

You can use this 3-core 1.5 sq mm flexible cable almost anywhere in your factory. It is a multi-purpose workhorse. Here are the most common scene words and applications:

Machine tool wiring

If you build CNC machines, lathes, or milling machines, this is the standard wire for the control circuits. It connects the motor to the controller. It fits inside the machine arm easily because it is flexible.

Drag chains and cable carriers

This is the most important use case. When a cable moves back and forth constantly, it gets stress. The ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 is designed for this. It twists and turns without twisting the copper wires inside. It is perfect for automated assembly lines.

Wind energy applications

Wind turbines twist and turn to face the wind. The cables inside the nacelle need to handle torsion (twisting). This cable is approved for torsion movement in wind turbines. It keeps the power and control signals running even when the tower twists.

Building and plant construction

You can use it for fixed wiring in damp or wet rooms. It is great for connecting sensors, push-buttons, and PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). Since it is gray, it looks clean and professional in control cabinets.

Food and beverage industry

Because it resists aggressive cleaning chemicals, you will see it in bottling plants and dairy processing. It does not degrade when washed down with high-pressure cleaners.

Understanding the Certifications: CE, RoHS, and VDE

You might see “CEROSH” in some searches. This is likely a mix-up of “CE” and “RoHS”. Let’s clear this up. This product has the real certifications that matter for export and safety.

CE Marking (European Conformity)

The cable has the CE mark. This is not just a sticker. It means LAPP tested the cable to meet EU safety standards. If you sell machinery to Europe, you need CE-marked components. Using this cable makes your final product certification easier.

VDE Certification

VDE is a German testing institute. Their standard is very high. The VDE mark proves the cable quality is monitored constantly. It is not a one-time test. VDE checks the factory and the materials regularly. This gives you peace of mind that every meter of wire is safe.

RoHS Compliance (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)

This is what people mean by “RoHS”. This cable does not contain lead, mercury, or cadmium above the legal limits. It is safe for the environment and for your workers to handle. It is required for almost all electronics sold today.

CCC Certification

If you export to China or sell in markets that accept CCC, this cable has it. It meets the China Compulsory Certification standards for safety.

Why buy this specific 3-core 1.5mm² version?

You might ask, “Why not 2.5mm² or 0.75mm²?” The 1.5mm² size is the “Goldilocks” of control cables.It is thick enough to carry power for small motors (up to about 2.5kW depending on length) and strong enough for 24V or 110V control signals. But it is not as thick or heavy as power cables.For a 3-core setup, you usually have:

1. One core for Live/Phase (L)
2. One core for Neutral (N)
3. One core for Protective Earth (PE)

This setup covers 90% of single-phase control needs. The gray color helps you identify it easily in a bundle of black or blue wires. It keeps your wiring tidy and reduces mistakes during maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions about LAPP ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110

Is this cable shielded?

The standard model (1119303) is unshielded. If you need protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) for sensitive sensors, you should look at the ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 CY (Screened) version. The screened version has a copper braid or foil shield.

Can I use this outdoors?

The standard PVC sheath is good for UV resistance for a while, but for long-term direct sunlight, UV can make PVC brittle over years. If it is in direct sun, use a conduit or look for a PUR (Polyurethane) sheath cable like ÖLFLEX® ROBUST. However, for indoor or shaded outdoor use, CLASSIC 110 is fine.
