Stop Wasting Money on Cheap, Stiff Cables That Break Easily
You know the feeling. You are in the middle of installing a new control panel or fixing a machine on the factory floor. You pull the cable, and it gets stuck. You force it a little, and the insulation cracks. Or worse, the cable gets hot because the copper is not pure enough. This causes downtime. Downtime costs money. You need a cable that bends easily, lasts a long time, and carries power safely without issues. You need a cable that works the first time, every time.This is why we are talking about the LAPP ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110. Specifically, the article number 1119203. This is not just a generic wire. It is a premium product from a German brand known for quality. It solves the headache of rigid wiring. It is flexible, tough, and built for standard industrial use. If you are an engineer, a procurement manager, or a contractor, this cable is the smart choice for your next project.
What Exactly is 3G 1.0 mm²? Let’s Break It Down
You might see the code “3G 1.0 mm²” and wonder what it means. It is actually very simple. Let’s look at the parts:
- 3G (3 Cores): This means the cable has three separate copper wires inside one outer jacket.
- 1.0 mm²: This is the size of each copper wire. It is 1 square millimeter in cross-section.
- The “G”: In European standards, this often means a “Green/Yellow” earth wire is included.
So, inside the grey outer sheath, you will find three wires:
- Brown (Live/Power)
- Blue (Neutral)
- Green/Yellow (Protective Earth/Ground)
This setup is perfect for single-phase power with grounding. It is the standard for control circuits, lighting, and small machinery. The 1.0 mm² size is the “sweet spot.” It is thick enough to carry power safely for medium loads. But it is still thin enough to bend easily through tight spaces in cable ducts or conduit pipes.
Why Choose LAPP ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 (1119203)?
When you buy this cable, you are buying peace of mind. LAPP is a famous name in the wire and cable industry. The CLASSIC 110 series is their best-seller for a reason. It is designed for “standard applications.” This covers almost everything you see in a factory or a building.Here is why this specific model beats cheaper alternatives:
- Pure Copper Conduct: The core is made of plain annealed copper. This means it is very conductive. Less resistance means less heat. Your equipment runs cooler and safer.
- High-Quality PVC Insulation: Each of the three cores is individually insulated with PVC. Then, the whole cable has a PVC outer sheath. PVC is great because it resists oil, acid, and mechanical stress. It does not catch fire easily (no flame propagation).
- Perfect Diameter: The nominal outer diameter is 6.0 mm. This is a standard size. It fits into most cable glands and ducts without needing special tools.
- Flexibility: This is a Class 5 flexible cable. You can bend it around corners easily. Electricians love this because it saves time during installation. You do not need to heat it or use extreme force to route it.
- Weight: It weighs about 64 to 65 kg per kilometer. This makes it light enough to handle but heavy enough to feel substantial and durable.
Technical Specifications You Need to Know
If you are writing a datasheet or a tender, you need the exact numbers. Here is the technical data for Article No. 1119203:
- Brand: LAPP (ÖLFLEX®)
- Series: CLASSIC 110
- Article Number: 1119203
- Conductor Material: Bare Copper (Annealed)
- Number of Cores: 3
- Cross-Sectional Area: 1.0 mm²
- Insulation Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- Sheath Material: PVC
- Sheath Color: Grey (RAL 7001)
- Core Colors: Brown, Blue, Green/Yellow
- Voltage Rating: Uo/U = 300/500 V
- Test Voltage: 2000 V
- Temperature Range: Fixed installation: -40°C to +70°C. Flexible use: -5°C to +70°C.
- Nominal Outer Diameter: 6.0 mm
- Weight: Approx. 65 kg/km
- Minimum Bending Radius: Fixed: 4 x diameter (24 mm). Flexible: 12 x diameter (72 mm).
- Standards: VDE, EN 50525-2-11
These specs show that this cable is built to handle real-world conditions. The 300/500V rating is standard for industrial control systems. The PVC sheath protects against mechanical abrasion. If you are laying this cable underground or in a duct, it can handle the pressure.
Where Should You Use This Cable?
You can use the ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 3G 1.0 mm² in many places. It is a “general purpose” cable. Here are the most common scenarios:
- Control Cabinets: This is the #1 use. Connecting sensors, relays, and PLCs.
- Machinery Wiring: For small motors, pumps, and conveyor belts that need 1.0 mm² power.
- Lighting Circuits: Especially in commercial buildings or warehouses.
- Extension Cords: Because it is flexible, some people use it for heavy-duty DIY extension cords (though outdoor use needs UV protection).
- Solar Systems: It is often used for low-voltage DC connections in small solar setups (check local codes first).
- Audio/Signal: While it is a power cable, the shielded versions are used for audio, but the 110 is mainly for power and control.
It is NOT recommended for heavy outdoor use without protection, or for high-voltage transmission lines. But for 500V and below, it is a workhorse.
How Does It Compare to H05VV-F or Rubber Cables?
You might see other codes like H05VV-F or H07RN-F. What is the difference?
- H05VV-F: This is a very common harmonized cable. It is similar to the LAPP 110. However, LAPP often has tighter quality control. The LAPP copper is usually purer, and the PVC sheath is more resistant to oil.
- H07RN-F (Rubber): This is a rubber cable. It is more flexible and can handle higher temperatures (up to 60°C or more). But rubber is more expensive. If you don’t need the high heat resistance, the PVC LAPP cable is more cost-effective.
- 3G 1.0 vs 3G 1.5: If your load is high (like a big heater), you need 1.5 mm² or 2.5 mm². For standard signals and small motors, 1.0 mm² is enough. Using 1.0 mm² saves money and space.
The LAPP 1119203 hits the balance. It is better than generic “white label” cables because of the brand reputation. It is cheaper than specialized rubber cables but does the job just as well for indoor fixed laying.
