Is your factory floor a battlefield for your cables?
You know the feeling. You install a new power cord on a machine tool or in a control panel. Everything runs fine for a few weeks. Then, the oil leaks start. The cleaning chemicals splash. The temperature swings from freezing cold to scorching hot. Suddenly, your cable jacket gets brittle, cracks, or worse—it catches fire.Downtime is expensive. A single cable failure can stop a whole production line. You don’t need a cheap wire that barely works. You need a German imported cable that laughs at oil, resists chemicals, and handles rough movement without breaking. You need the LAPP ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 5G6. This isn’t just a wire; it’s the lifeline for your heavy equipment. It is built to survive where other cables fail.
What makes the 1119605 the “Tank” of control cables?
This specific model, 1119605, is a legend in the industrial world. It is a 5-core 6 square millimeter cable (written as 5G6). Let’s break that down simply. You have 5 separate copper wires inside one tough outer skin. Each wire is 6mm² thick. That is a lot of metal. It can carry a lot of power.This is the 110 oil-resistant series from LAPP. “Oil-resistant” means it won’t rot when it touches hydraulic oil or grease. This is critical for machine tool power cords. Machines get greasy. If your cable insulation dissolves in oil, you have a short circuit risk. This cable uses a special PVC mix that stays strong even when covered in oil.It is also a German imported cable. LAPP makes this in Germany (and some plants in India/China under strict German rules). You get the famous German engineering quality. It follows the VDE 0295 Class 5 standard. This means the copper inside is super fine-stranded. It is not a stiff solid rod. It is flexible. You can bend it, twist it, and move it. But it is not for constant dragging like a robot arm. It is for fixed places that need to move a little bit—like a door hinge or a rotating part.
Technical Specs: The numbers that matter
We know you need the hard data to make a decision. Here is exactly what you get with the ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 5G6:
- Product Code: 1119605 (LAPP Part Number)
- Voltage: Rated for 300/500 Volts (U0/U). This is standard for industrial control and power.
- Cores: 5 Cores (Conductors).
- Cross-Section: 6 mm² per core.
- Outer Diameter: 14.5 mm (about 0.57 inches). It’s a thick, sturdy cable.
- Weight: Roughly 470 kg per km. That’s a lot of copper!
- Conductor Material: Bare copper, fine-stranded (Class 5). Very flexible.
- Insulation & Sheath: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). Grey color (RAL 7001).
- Temperature Range:
- Fixed installation: -40°C to +80°C (Freezing to very hot).
- Flexing/Moving: -5°C to +70°C.
- This range is huge. Most cables crack in the cold. This one doesn’t.
- Bending Radius:
- Fixed: 4 times the diameter (about 58mm).
- Moving: 15 times the diameter. Don’t kink it too tight when moving!
- Test Voltage: 4,000 Volts (4kV). It can handle massive surges.
- Resistance: 3.3 Ohms per km. Low resistance means less heat.
- Certifications: VDE certified, CE marked, EAC, Ecolab. It meets all European and international safety standards.
Where should you use this 5G6 machine tool power cord?
You might ask, “Is this the right cable for my job?” Here are the real-world scenarios where this cable shines. If you see your project in this list, this is the cable you need.##### Plant Engineering & Mechanical EngineeringIn a factory, you have conveyor belts, pumps, and motors. These machines vibrate. They get hot. They use oil. The 5-core 6 square millimeter cable is perfect for wiring the control panels that run these machines. The 5 cores let you carry power (phase, neutral, earth) and also control signals (start/stop) all in one cable. That saves you money on wiring time.##### Air Conditioning and Heating TechnologyHVAC systems need power for fans and compressors. They also need control wires for thermostats. This cable does both. It is resistant to the chemicals used in cooling systems. It won’t corrode if it touches condensation or cleaning fluids.##### Power Plant Technology & Wind TurbinesThis is a tough one. Wind turbines twist and turn (torsion). The cable inside the nacelle gets twisted thousands of times. The ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 is approved for these “torsional loads.” It can handle the twisting motion without the copper wires snapping inside. It is also flame-retardant (IEC 60332-1-2). If there is a fire, it won’t spread the flames. This keeps the power plant safe.##### Machine Tools & CNC MachinesThis is the classic use case. A CNC machine has moving parts. The power cord to the tool head needs to be flexible. The 5G6 machine tool power cord is strong against oil mist and coolant fluids. It is also “PWIS-Free.” That means it doesn’t have substances that cause rust on metal parts. You don’t want your cable to make your expensive machine tools rust!##### Dry and Damp RoomsYou can use it outside if it’s protected from sun (UV), but it is amazing inside damp rooms. Think of a food processing plant where they wash the floors with high-pressure hoses. This cable resists the water and the cleaning chemicals (alkaline solutions).
Why buy this specific LAPP 1119605 model?
You have choices. You can buy cheap local cable. But cheap cable has risks.
- Copper Quality: Cheap cable might use recycled copper with impurities. Our German imported cable uses high-purity copper (288 kg of copper per km!). This means better conductivity and less heat.
- Sheath Quality: A cheap PVC jacket gets sticky in heat and cracks in cold. LAPP uses a special compound (LAPP P8/1) that stays flexible and strong for years.
- Safety: This cable is flame-retardant and self-extinguishing. In a fire, it stops burning when the heat source is gone. Cheap cable keeps burning and spreads fire.
- Chemical Resistance: It resists oils, acids, and alkalis. If you work in a chemical plant, this is a must-have.
The ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 is a “general purpose” cable, but it is a heavy-duty one. It is not for robots that drag cables all day (use a chain-rated cable for that). But for almost everything else—fixed wiring, occasional movement, torsion, and wet areas—it is the best choice.
