The headache of finding the right cable for complex machines
You know the struggle. You are building a control panel for a big machine. Or maybe you are fixing the wiring in a wind turbine. You need a cable with many wires—like 50 cores—to handle all the signals. But you have big problems.First, the cable is too stiff. It is hard to pull through the cable chain. It breaks if it moves too much. Second, you worry about safety. Is it oil-resistant? Is it certified for Europe? If the cable fails, the whole machine stops. That costs money. You need a cable that works hard and follows the strict German LAPP standards. You need something that just works, without the hassle.
This is the solution: ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110
This is not just any wire. This is the ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110. It is a star product from LAPP. It is a flexible power and control cable. It is built for tough jobs. We are talking about the 110 series. It is famous all over the world for being reliable.This specific cable has 50 cores. Each core is 1 square millimeter (1mm²). It is flexible. It can move. It is perfect for dry or damp places. It handles oil well. It meets the EU rules. If you need a high-quality cable for your project, this is it.
Technical Specs You Need to Know
Let’s look at the numbers. You need to know exactly what you are buying. Here are the hard facts for the 50-core, 1mm² version:
- Part Number: 1119250
- Cores: 50 (This is a lot of wires in one jacket!)
- Conductor Size: 1 mm²
- Including Protective Conductor: Yes (Ground wire is inside)
- Nominal Outer Diameter: 20.6 mm (About 0.8 inches)
- Weight: 797 kg/km (It is heavy because it has a lot of copper)
- Copper Index: 480 kg/km (Pure copper weight)
- Voltage: U0/U 300/500 V (Standard for control circuits)
- Test Voltage: 4000 V (High safety margin)
- Temperature Range: -40°C to +80°C (Flexible use down to -15°C)
- Bending Radius: Fixed: 10x diameter | Flexible: 12x diameter
Why this cable beats the rest
You might ask, “Why pick this one over cheap wires?” Here is why.First, it is flexible. The copper wires inside are fine-stranded. This means the cable can twist and turn. It is great for cable chains. It does not break easily. Second, it is tough. The outer sheath is PVC. It resists oil and acids. It is also alkali resistant. This is vital in factories where there are chemicals on the floor.Third, it is safe. It has a VDE certification. It is tested to 4000 Volts. It also has the EU CPR certification. This means it meets the Construction Products Regulation. It is classified for fire behavior. You can use it in buildings without worry.Fourth, it is clean. It meets the EU RoHS directive. It does not have harmful heavy metals like lead or cadmium. It is also tested against disinfectants. If you use it in food processing or hospitals, it is safe.
Where to use this 50-core cable
This cable is a workhorse. You can use it in many places. Here are the best spots:
- Industrial Machinery: Wiring inside big machines. Connecting sensors to the PLC.
- Plant Engineering: Building new factories or upgrading old lines.
- Wind Turbines: This cable is famous for wind power. It handles the twisting motion in the turbine loop. It is the USA Wind Turbine Tray Cable standard.
- Heating and AC: Controlling the fans and pumps in HVAC systems.
- Conveyor Systems: Moving belts in logistics centers.
It is rated for medium mechanical stress. So, if the cable moves a bit, it is okay. But do not pull it with high tension during installation.
Installation tips for your team
Your electricians will like this cable. It is easy to strip. It is easy to terminate. But remember a few things.The tensile load during installation is 15 N/mm². Do not pull too hard. If you have 50 cores, the pull adds up fast. Use the right cable glands. For this cable, you might want a braid or shield if you have EMC noise issues. But the standard 110 is unshielded. If you need shielding, look at the SY or CH versions.For the 50-core version, the outer diameter is 20.6 mm. Make sure your cable trays have enough space. Do not crush it. Keep the bending radius smooth. If you bend it too sharp, you damage the copper strands.
Certifications and Standards
We know you need papers for customs. This cable has them all.
- VDE Registered: This is the German quality mark. It is very strict.
- CE Marked: Conforms to EU Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU.
- RoHS Compliant: No hazardous substances.
- UL and CSA: Some versions have UL approval for North America (like UL OIL RES).
- CPR: Classification for fire safety in buildings.
It is also ozone resistant. It resists UV light (for outdoor use in black sheath). It is weather resistant.
