Stop Worrying About Signal Noise and Cable Failures in Your Factory
You know the headache. You install a new control system in a factory or a building. Everything works fine at first. Then, the motors start running. The VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives) kick in. Suddenly, your sensors give wrong readings. Your screens flicker. The system stops for no reason. This is electromagnetic interference (EMI). It costs you money in downtime and troubleshooting.You need a cable that fights back. You need a cable that blocks the noise. You also need a cable that is easy to install and lasts a long time. The LAPP 7-core 1 sq mm copper core flexible shielded anti-interference control cable, CY110 transparent is the answer. It is not just a wire. It is a shield for your signals. It uses a transparent jacket so you can see the cores. It uses a tinned copper braid to stop noise. It is built for the real world, not just a lab.
What Makes the ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 CY Special?
This cable is a top seller for a reason. It is part of the Lapp Group’s classic series. It is VDE-certified. This means it meets strict German and European safety standards. The “CY” in the name stands for the cable type. It means it has a transparent outer sheath and a collective screen (shield).The best feature is the transparent PVC jacket. Most cables are black or grey. You have to strip the end to see which wire is which. With this transparent cable, you can see the colors inside. This saves you hours of work. It prevents wiring mistakes. You can check for damage without cutting the cable.It is also very flexible. We call this “Class 5” flexibility. The copper strands inside are very thin. This lets the cable bend around tight corners. It is great for moving parts. It is great for tight control cabinets. You do not need a big bending radius. You can route it easily through cable chains.
Technical Specs That Matter to Your Engineers
Your technical team needs hard data. Here is the breakdown for the 7G1.0 model:
- Conductor: 7 cores, each 1.0 sq mm (14 AWG). Made of bare copper, fine-wired (Class 5/IEC 60228 Class 5). This means it is super flexible.
- Shielding: Tinned copper braiding. This is not just a foil wrap. A braid is stronger. It handles movement better. It provides 70-95% protection from EMI.
- Voltage: Rated 300/500V (U0/U). Test voltage is 4000V (4kV). This gives it a huge safety margin against power surges.
- Jacket: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). It is flame-retardant (IEC 60332-1-2). It resists oil and chemicals.
- Temperature: Fixed install: -40°C to +80°C. Moving/Flexing: -5°C to +70°C.
- Bending Radius: For fixed installation, it is 6 times the outer diameter. For occasional flexing, it is 20 times the outer diameter.
- Outer Diameter: Approx 13.9mm (0.547 inches). Weight is around 12.6 kg per 100m (copper content varies with price).
- Approvals: VDE reg. no. 7030, CE marked.
Where Should You Use This Cable?
You can use this cable anywhere you need clean signals and high reliability. It is perfect for:
- Industrial Machinery: Connecting sensors, PLCs, and servo motors. Especially near heavy motors or welding equipment.
- HVAC Systems: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning controls. These systems have many small signals that need protection.
- Conveyor Systems: The cable moves with the belt. It needs to flex millions of times without breaking.
- EMC-Sensitive Environments: Places with high radio frequency noise. Hospitals, data centers, or broadcast studios.
- Control Panels: Wiring the internal logic of a switchboard. The transparent jacket makes the panel look professional and easy to fix.
How to Install It for Best Performance
Installing shielded cable requires care. If you ground it wrong, the shield does nothing. Here is the simple guide:
- Grounding is Key: You must ground the shield. Use 360-degree clamps. Connect the drain wire (the yellow/green core) to the ground bar.
- Single-End Grounding: For long runs, ground the shield at ONE end only. This stops “ground loops.” A ground loop creates its own noise.
- Avoid Sharp Bends: Do not kink the cable. Use cable glands with strain relief. This protects the shield where the cable enters the box.
- Separation: Keep this cable away from high-voltage power cables. If they must cross, cross them at 90 degrees. Do not run them parallel for long distances.
The LAPP ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 CY handles these challenges well. The PVC jacket is tough against oil and grease. The tinned copper braid does not corrode easily in humid air.
Why Buy This Specific 7G1.0 Model?
There are many cables on the market. Why this one?
- Brand Trust: Lapp is a global leader. You get consistent quality. Every meter is tested.
- Transparency: You see the quality. You see the cores. You see if it is damaged.
- Flexibility: It fits in small spaces. It saves space in cable trays.
