Is your equipment constantly stopping because of broken wires?
You know the feeling. You have a big order to finish. The conveyor belt is moving, the robot arm is working, and suddenly—everything stops. You check the machine, and the cable inside the drag chain is cracked. The copper is exposed. Maybe oil leaked on it, or it just got stiff and snapped from moving back and forth.This happens with cheap cables. They are not built for real work. They get hard in the cold. They get soft in the heat. They absorb oil and fall apart. When a cable fails, you lose money on repairs and lost time. You need a wire that keeps working, even when the environment is tough. You need a cable that bends without breaking and resists the chemicals in your factory.We have the solution. It is the LAPP ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110. This is not just a generic wire. It is a specific, high-quality control cable designed for standard industrial applications. The part number is 1119205. It has 5 cores, and each core is 1 square millimeter. It is flexible, tough, and ready for your machines.
What exactly is the ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 5G1?
This cable is a European-style power and control wire. It is made by LAPP, a top brand in the cable industry. The “110” series is famous for being reliable. The “5G1” means it has 5 conductors (cores) plus a protective ground wire. Each conductor has a cross-section of 1 mm².It is unshielded. This means it does not have a metal screen around the wires. This makes the cable lighter and more flexible. It is perfect for general control circuits where you do not need heavy shielding against electrical noise.The cable is PVC insulated and sheathed. PVC is a strong plastic. It resists fire, oil, and chemicals. The outer jacket is grey. The cores inside are numbered. This makes it very easy for your electricians to connect. They do not have to guess which wire is which. They just match the numbers.

Why this cable is perfect for Drag Chains and Moving Parts
You asked about a “low-speed drag chain line.” This cable fits that need very well. A drag chain is a track that holds the cable while a machine moves. The cable has to slide and bend thousands of times.Standard cables get stiff and break. The ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 is different. It is built to be torsion-resistant. This means it can twist slightly without damaging the copper inside.Here are the movement limits for this cable:
- Fixed Installation: You can use it in temperatures from -40°C to +80°C. It can handle very cold freezers or hot factory floors.
- Occasionally Moved: If you move the cable sometimes, it works from -15°C to +70°C.
- Continuous Movement: If the cable is always moving in a drag chain, it works from -5°C to +70°C.
The minimum bending radius is important. If you bend a cable too sharp, you damage it.
- Fixed: 28.4 mm
- Flexing: 71 mm
- Dynamic (Moving): 106.5 mm
Make sure your drag chain does not bend sharper than these numbers. If you respect the bending radius, this cable will last a long time.
Chemical and Oil Resistance: The “Tough” Factor
Factories are dirty places. There is oil, grease, and cleaning fluid everywhere. Many cables absorb these liquids. The plastic gets soft and mushy. Then the insulation fails.The PVC material in the 1119205 is oil-resistant. It does not absorb oil easily. It also resists many chemicals. It is even tested against ECOLAB disinfectants. This is great for food processing plants or places where you wash equipment with strong cleaners.It is also flame retardant. If there is a short circuit and a spark, the cable will not catch fire easily. It will self-extinguish. This keeps your building safe.
Where to use this cable (Real World Examples)
You can use this wire in almost any industrial setting. Here are the most common places we see it:
- Conveyor Systems: Connecting the motor to the control box. The cable moves with the belt.
- Machine Tools: Lathes, milling machines, and CNC controllers.
- Packaging Machinery: Wrappers, labelers, and bottling lines.
- Robotics: Low-speed robot arms or grippers.
- HVAC Systems: Heating and cooling unit controls.
- Wet Environments: Outdoor use (if protected from sun) or wash-down areas.
It is a “general purpose” cable. This means it is the jack-of-all-trades. It does everything well. It is not for high-speed data, but it is perfect for sending power and simple signals (like “start” or “stop”) to a machine.
Comparison: Why buy this over cheap alternatives?
You might find cheaper 5-core cables online. But you get what you pay for.
- Copper Quality: Cheap cables might use recycled copper with impurities. This causes heat and voltage drop. LAPP uses high-purity copper.
- Insulation Thickness: Cheap cables have thin insulation. They short out easily. The 1119205 has thick, consistent walls.
- Certifications: This cable is VDE registered. This is a German quality mark. It means the cable has been tested rigorously. Cheap cables often have fake or no certifications.
- Stranding: The copper inside is made of many tiny wires (stranded). This makes it flexible. Cheap cables might be solid core, which snaps if you bend it.
When you buy the ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110, you are buying peace of mind. You are buying a cable that meets EU safety standards. You are reducing the risk of your machine burning down or stopping unexpectedly.
