Are you tired of control cables that crack during installation? Do you face constant electrical noise issues in your factory? Or maybe your wires get too hot and fail safety checks? These problems cost you money and time. You need a cable that bends easily, resists interference, and lasts for years. This is why we built our 5-core 1.5mm² flexible copper control cable. It is designed for real-world use. It solves the headache of stiff wires and signal loss. This product meets high European standards. It works perfectly in tight spaces and harsh environments. Read on to see why this is the best choice for your next project.
What Makes the 5-Core 1.5mm² Cable Special?
This cable is not just a standard wire. It is a high-performance shielded cable. The “5G1.5” code tells you exactly what it is. It has 5 cores (wires inside). Each core has a cross-section of 1.5 square millimeters. The “G” means it includes a protective earth conductor (green/yellow). This setup is standard for industrial power and control.The conductor is made of fine-stranded bare copper. This is key. Solid wires break if you bend them too often. Stranded wires flex thousands of times without snapping. Our copper is high purity. It offers low electrical resistance. This means less energy is lost as heat. Your machines run cooler and more efficient.The outer sheath is transparent PVC. Why transparent? It lets you inspect the wires inside without cutting the cable. You can see the color codes and check for damage instantly. The PVC material is special. It resists oil, grease, and common chemicals. It also passes the IEC 60332-1-2 flame test. If a fire starts, this cable does not spread the flame. It is safe for use in public buildings and tunnels.
Technical Specifications You Need to Know
We believe in total transparency. Here are the hard numbers for the ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 series 5G1.5 cable:
- Cable Type: Shielded Control Cable (EMC Critical)
- Series: Equivalent to ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 / CY
- Number of Cores: 5 (Including Protective Earth)
- Conductor Cross-Section: 1.5 mm²
- Conductor Material: Fine-stranded bare copper (Class 5 flexibility)
- Insulation Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- Sheath Material: Transparent PVC
- Shielding: Tinned copper braid (approx. 70-85% coverage)
- Nominal Voltage: 300 V / 500 V (U0/U)
- Test Voltage: 4.0 kV (High safety margin)
- Operating Temperature:
- Fixed installation: -40°C to +80°C
- Flexing / Moving: -5°C to +70°C
- Minimum Bend Radius: 8 x outer diameter (approx. 65mm)
- Outer Diameter: Approx. 8.1 mm to 10.2 mm (varies by shielding density)

These specs ensure the cable fits standard cable glands and conduit sizes. The 4kV test voltage is much higher than the working voltage. This gives you a huge safety buffer against power surges.
Where Should You Use This Cable?
This 5-core 1.5mm² cable is a workhorse. It fits many different jobs. You will see it in plant engineering and mechanical engineering. It is great for connecting motors and sensors.
HVAC and Climate Control
Heating and air-conditioning systems need reliable control wires. The cables run through tight ducts and vibrate with the fans. Our flexible cable handles this vibration. The transparent sheath helps technicians trace wires behind walls. It resists the oils used in compressors.
Conveyor and Transport Systems
Conveyor belts move constantly. Cables on moving parts get flexed and pulled. A stiff cable will crack in weeks. Our flexible copper core survives millions of cycles. The shielding is critical here. Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) create massive electromagnetic noise. This noise can stop sensors from working. The copper braid shield blocks this noise. It keeps your data signals clean.
Machine Tools and Robotics
In CNC machines, space is tight. You need thin cables that carry power and signals. The 1.5mm² size is perfect for control circuits and solenoid valves. It is also used for local lighting (24V or 110V) inside the cabinet. The oil resistance protects it from coolant splashes.
Food and Packaging Industry
The transparent sheath is a big plus here. It is easy to clean and inspect. If the sheath gets scratched, you can see it immediately. This helps with hygiene and safety audits.
Why Quality Matters for Imported Cables
You are a foreign trade company. You know that one bad batch can ruin your reputation. Cheap cables cut corners. They use recycled copper or thin insulation. They fail safety tests.Our production follows strict German engineering standards (VDE 0295, IEC 60228). We use Class 5 copper. This means the strands are very fine. It makes the cable extremely flexible. We test every batch for insulation resistance. It must be over 2500 MΩ x km. We also test the dielectric strength at 1.5 kV to 4 kV.The shielding is not just a wrap of foil. It is a braided tinned copper mesh. Tin prevents corrosion. The braid maintains good contact (low coupling resistance) even when bent. This ensures Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Your equipment won’t interfere with other machines nearby.We also focus on the outer jacket. It is PUR or PVC based on your need. It has good abrasion resistance. If you drag the cable over metal edges, it won’t wear through quickly. It is also flame retardant. In a fire, it emits low smoke and no toxic halogens (EN 50290-2-22). This is required for modern building codes.
Packaging and Logistics
We understand export logistics. We pack the cable to prevent damage during the long sea journey.
- Standard Packing: 100 meters per coil (reel).
- Custom Lengths: We can cut to specific lengths (e.g., 50m, 200m) on request.
- Drum Options: Steel or wooden drums for heavy orders.
- Marking: The print on the sheath is clear and repeats every meter. It includes our brand, voltage rating, and core size. This makes it easy for your customers to identify on site.
- Shipping: We can ship FOB, CIF, or DDP. The cables are robust against humidity and salt air.
For small samples, we send them in protective tubes or small boxes. For bulk containers, we use pallets and shrink wrap. We ensure the copper does not oxidize during storage.
