Is Your Cable Failing You? Stop The Downtime Now.
You know the feeling. You install a cable, and a few months later, it cracks. The machinery stops. The production line halts. You lose money every minute. Maybe the cable got too hot. Maybe the oil in the factory ate through the jacket. Or maybe it just got stiff and broke when the machine moved.You need a cable that works hard. You need a cable that doesn’t quit. You are looking for a specific type: the Imported 5-core 6 square millimeter cable. You want the quality of the German Cablepro 110 series 5G6 (often searched for, but the real brand is LAPP ÖLFLEX). You need that grey outer sheath to keep things looking clean and professional. And you need the thin grounding wire inside to keep your people safe.This is not just a wire. This is the ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110. It is the part number 1119605. It is built for the real world. It handles oil. It handles heat. It handles movement. Let’s look at why this is the exact cable you need for your next project.
What Makes This Cable Special?
This is not a cheap, generic wire. This is a premium product from LAPP, a German company. They have been making cables for a long time. They know what works.The ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 5G6 is a power and control cable. It has 5 cores. Each core is 6 square millimeters (6mm²) of pure copper. That is a lot of power in a small package. The outside is grey PVC. It looks good, but it also protects the inside.People search for the “German Cablepro 110 series” because they want German engineering. LAPP gives you that. The part number 1119605 tells you exactly what you are getting. No surprises. No guessing. It is VDE registered. That means it passed strict safety tests in Germany. If you buy this, you buy safety.
Let’s Look At The Numbers (Technical Specs)
You need hard facts. Here is the data for the 1119605 model. We keep it simple.
- Product Name: ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110
- Part Number: 1119605
- Cores: 5 Cores (5G)
- Conductor Size: 6 mm² (6 square millimeters)
- Conductor Material: Bare Copper (Fine-stranded)
- Insulation: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- Outer Sheath: Grey PVC (Similar to RAL 7001)
- Voltage: 300/500 Volts (U0/U)
- Test Voltage: 4000 Volts (4 kV)
- Outer Diameter: 14.5 mm (about 0.57 inches)
- Weight: 470 kg per km (heavy duty)
- Copper Content: 288 kg per km (real copper inside)
- Resistance: 3.3 Ohms per km
These numbers matter. The 5G6 size is perfect for medium power. It is not too thick to bend. It is not too thin to carry the load. The 14.5mm diameter fits in most cable trays. The grey color helps you spot it easily in a messy control panel.
Built To Move (Flexibility and Bending)
Cables in machines move. They twist. They turn. If a cable is stiff, it breaks. This cable is different. It uses Class 5 fine-stranding according to VDE 0295.What does that mean? It means the copper wires inside are very thin. They twist together like a rope. This makes the cable super flexible. You can bend it without damaging the core.Here are the bending rules for the 1119605:
- Fixed Installation: You can bend it to 4 times the diameter (about 58mm).
- Occasional Flexing: You can bend it to 10 times the diameter.
- In Power Chains: You can bend it to 15 times the diameter.
This is great for torsional applications. Do you have a wind turbine? The loop in the nacelle twists a lot. This cable handles that. Do you have a robot arm? It moves all day. This cable can take it. It is rated for up to 1 million bending cycles in short travels (up to 5 meters).
Tough Against The Bad Stuff (Oil and Heat)
Your factory has oil. Grease. Coolants. Cheap cables swell up and die when they touch oil. The ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 is oil-resistant. It follows the standard DIN EN 50290-2-22 (TM54).It is also flame-retardant. If there is a fire, it does not spread the flame. It follows IEC 60332-1-2. It is self-extinguishing. This is critical for building safety codes.What about temperature?
- Fixed: It works from -40°C to +80°C. That is cold.
- Moving: It works from -5°C to +70°C.
- Flexing (occasional): -15°C to +70°C.
Most factories stay in this range. If you are in a very hot or very cold place, this cable still works. It is also chemically resistant. It fights off acids and alkalis. It is PWIS-free. That means it does not contaminate clean rooms or food processing plants.
Where Do You Use This Cable?
You can use the 1119605 almost anywhere. It is a general-purpose workhorse. Here are the best spots:
- Plant Engineering: Connecting pumps, motors, and sensors.
- Mechanical Engineering: Inside machines and conveyor belts.
- Air Conditioning & Heating: HVAC systems need flexible cables.
- Power Plants: High reliability is a must here.
- Wind Turbines (WTG): Specifically for the torsion loops.
- Dry and Damp Rooms: It handles humidity well.
It is unshielded. This means it does not have a metal braid around the cores. If you need shielding for signal noise, you must pick a different model. But for power and basic control, shielding is not always needed. This keeps the cost down and the weight light (470 kg/km).
Safety First (The “Thin Grounding” Wire)
You asked about the thin grounding. In this cable, it is the Green/Yellow (GN-YE) wire. It is a protective conductor.Why is it important? If a live wire touches the metal case of a machine, the grounding wire carries the current away. This trips the breaker. It stops the machine before it shocks a worker.In the 1119605, this wire is part of the 5 cores. It is stranded just like the power wires. It is flexible. It does not break when the cable bends. Many cheap cables have a solid ground wire that snaps. This one stays connected. It keeps your team safe. It meets the VDE requirements for a protective conductor.
Easy To Install (Saving You Time)
Time is money. This cable saves you time on the job site.First, the outer sheath is grey with black cores. The cores have numbers printed on them. You do not need a multimeter to find wire 1 or wire 5. You just look at the print. This makes wiring control panels very fast.Second, it strips easily. The PVC jacket is tough, but it cuts cleanly. You do not need special tools.Third, it is sold by the meter. You do not have to buy a whole 100-meter reel if you only need 20 meters. You can order exactly what you need. This cuts down on waste and storage costs.
The Certifications (Trust But Verify)
Don’t buy uncertified cables. They are a fire risk. The LAPP 1119605 has all the stamps you need:
- VDE Certified: The German Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies. This is the gold standard in Europe.
- CE Marked: Required for sale in the European Economic Area.
- EAC Certified: For the Eurasian Customs Union (Russia, etc.).
- Ecolab Certified: Some versions are approved for food industry use.
- UL Listed: Available for the US market (UL 758).
If you are exporting to the US, UK, or Europe, this cable clears customs. It meets the harmonized code 85444995. You will not have trouble at the border.
Why Buy This Over Cheaper Options?
You can find cheaper 5-core cables. But are they really 6mm²? Or are they 5.5mm²? Cheap cables lie about the copper size.With the ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110, you get exactly 6mm² of copper. The weight is 470 kg/km. You can weigh it to check. The insulation is real PVC, not recycled plastic that cracks.It lasts longer. A cheap cable might last 2 years. This cable lasts 10 or 15 years. The upfront cost is higher, but the total cost of ownership is lower. You save on replacements. You save on downtime. You save on fire insurance.
