Is Your Equipment Cable Failing You? Stop the Downtime Now.
You know the feeling. Your production line stops. The conveyor belt halts. The robotic arm freezes. You check the control cabinet, and there it is—the cable. It’s cracked, the insulation is brittle, or the copper has broken from constant flexing. Cheap cables cost you money in repairs and lost time. You need a wire that moves when the machine moves. You need a cable that survives oil, dust, and rough handling. You need a cable that just works, year after year.This is why we built our 2G1.0 mm² Flexible Control Cable. It is not just a wire. It is the lifeline of your equipment. We designed it for the real world. The world of vibration, heat, and cold. It replaces the old, stiff cables that snap under pressure. It solves the headache of “mystery” electrical faults. If you are an engineer, a maintenance manager, or a distributor, you need a cable you can trust. This is the German LAPP 1119852 equivalent standard. It is built to last.
What Exactly is a 2G1.0 mm² Flexible Cable?
Let’s break it down simply. “2G1.0” means two things. First, “2” means it has 2 cores. Second, “G” means the wires are flexible (stranded), not solid. “1.0” means each copper wire has a cross-section of 1 square millimeter.Why does this matter? Solid wires break if you bend them. Stranded wires bend all day long. This cable has two stranded copper cores. They carry power and control signals. They fit into tight spaces. They are perfect for low-voltage circuits. Think of them as the muscles of your machine. They send the energy to make things move.We use bare copper for the conductor. Why? Because copper conducts electricity better than aluminum. It has less resistance. This means less heat. Less heat means a safer system. The conductor is stranded according to IEC 60228 Class 5. This is the highest standard for flexibility. You can twist it, bend it, and pull it. It won’t snap.
Technical Specifications That Matter to You
You don’t need a physics degree to read this. Here are the real numbers that define quality.
- Voltage Rating: 300/500 Volts. This is the sweet spot for industrial control. It handles the power for motors and lights safely.
- Conductor Material: Plain annealed copper. It is soft and flexible.
- Insulation Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). This is the tough outer skin.
- Sheath Material: PVC. It protects against oil, acids, and mechanical stress.
- Temperature Range: This is critical. It works from -40°C to +80°C. That is freezing cold to very hot. It won’t get brittle in a freezer. It won’t melt near a hot motor.
- Outer Diameter: Approximately 5.7 mm. It is slim. It fits through cable chains easily.
- Weight: About 55 kg per kilometer. It is light enough to handle but heavy enough to be durable.
- Bending Radius: Fixed: 4x diameter. Moving: 10x diameter. It is super flexible.
- Test Voltage: 2000 Volts for 5 minutes. We test it hard so you don’t have to.
- Insulation Resistance: 1000 MΩ x km at 20°C. This means almost no electricity leaks out.
Where Should You Use This Cable? (Real World Scenarios)
This cable is a workhorse. You will find it everywhere in industry. Here are the top places it shines:##### Control Systems and CabinetsInside your control panel, space is tight. You need wires that bend around corners without kinking. This 2-core cable is perfect for wiring push-buttons, switches, and relays. It carries the signal that tells the machine what to do.##### Conveyors and Material HandlingConveyor belts move. The cable goes with them. If you use a stiff cable, it will chafe against the metal. Our PVC sheath is abrasion-resistant. It slides over metal surfaces without wearing out. It is ideal for the power and control of conveyor buckets, cranes, and port logistics systems.##### Machinery and RoboticsRobotic arms move constantly. The cable in the “drag chain” faces millions of bends. This cable is designed for high-flex applications. It is also great for elevators and escalators. The cable needs to move up and down thousands of times. This cable handles the stress.##### Outdoor and Damp EnvironmentsThe PVC jacket is water-resistant. It is not fully waterproof like a specialized submersible cable, but it handles damp, dry, and wet conditions perfectly. It resists UV light. You can use it in outdoor installations, underground tunnels, or factories where it gets wet.##### Heating and Underground ApplicationsBecause the sheath is tough PVC, it resists chemicals in the soil. It is also used for low-voltage lighting and heating circuits where flexibility is needed.
Why Choose the ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 Standard?
You might ask, “Why this specific model?” The answer is standardization and trust.##### German Engineering HeritageLAPP invented the ÖLFLEX® brand. It is the gold standard in Europe. When you buy a cable to this spec, you know exactly what you get. It is not a gamble. It is a proven design that has been used for decades.##### CE Approved and SafeSafety is not optional. This cable meets CE standards. It conforms to European safety rules. If you are selling machinery to Europe, you need CE-approved components. This cable checks that box. It also meets VDE and HAR approvals.##### Superior Oil and Chemical ResistanceIn a factory, cables touch oil, grease, and cleaning fluids. Cheap cables get soft and dissolve. The PVC compound we use is special. It resists oil and common chemicals. It keeps the copper safe inside.##### Flame RetardantFire safety is vital. This cable has flame-retardant properties. If there is a short circuit, it does not spread the fire easily. It is self-extinguishing. This protects your building and your people.##### Cost-Effective QualityYou could buy cheaper generic wire. But it might fail in a month. This cable costs a little more upfront. But it lasts years. The total cost of ownership is lower because you don’t have to replace it. You save on labor. You save on downtime.
Comparison: Our Cable vs. The Competition
Let’s be honest. There are many 2-core cables out there. Here is how we stack up.
| Feature | Our ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 (2G1.0) | Cheap Generic Cable |
|---|---|---|
| Conductor | High-purity Copper (99.9%) | Recycled Copper / CCA |
| Flexibility | Class 5 (Super Flexible) | Class 2 (Stiff) |
| Insulation | Premium PVC (Oil Resistant) | Basic PVC (Cracks easily) |
| Voltage | 500V Rated | Often 300V only |
| Temp Range | -40°C to +80°C | 0°C to +60°C |
| Standards | CE, VDE, IEC 60228 | No Certification |
| Lifespan | 10+ Years | 1-2 Years |
See the difference? You pay for performance. You pay for a cable that won’t let you down when the pressure is on.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is this cable shielded?A: No, this specific model (1119852) is unshielded. It is for general power and control. If you need shielding for data signals, look at our screened versions.Q: Can I use this for LED lighting?A: Yes, absolutely. 1.0mm² is great for low-voltage lighting circuits up to 500V.Q: Is it suitable for direct burial?A: It has a tough sheath, but for direct burial in rocky soil, we recommend armored (SWA) cable for extra mechanical protection. This is great for conduit or underground tunnels.Q: What is the maximum current?A: For a 1.0mm² copper core, the safe continuous current is around 14-16 Amps depending on installation. Always check your local electrical code.Q: Do you have a datasheet?A: Yes, we have full PDF datasheets with all test reports and dimension drawings.
