Tired of cables that break, tangle, or cause electrical noise in your machines?
You know the struggle. You build a great control panel or a piece of machinery. You install standard wire. It looks good at first. But then, the machine moves. The cable gets stiff. It cracks inside the insulation. Or worse, electrical noise from nearby motors messes up your sensor signals. Your system throws errors. Production stops. You have to tear everything apart to fix a simple wire.This is not just annoying. It costs money. Every hour of downtime is lost profit. You need a wire that moves with the machine, not against it. You need a wire that blocks noise so your data stays clean. You need a cable that lasts for years, even in tight spaces.That is why we built our 3G1.0 mm² flexible shielded control cable. It matches the high quality of the German LAPP ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 standard (like part number 1135203). It is not just a wire. It is the nervous system for your automation equipment. It is flexible, tough, and ready for the real world.
What makes this 3-core 1 sq mm cable special?
Let’s look under the hood. This is not a cheap, rigid wire you find at a local hardware store. This is a professional-grade industrial cable.
The Copper Core Difference
The heart of the cable is the conductor. We use bare copper, but not just one solid stick. We use fine-wire stranding (Class 5 according to IEC 60228). Imagine a rope made of many tiny threads instead of one thick rope. The “rope” bends easily. It does not snap when you twist it.The size is 1 square millimeter (1 mm²). This is the “sweet spot” for control circuits. It carries enough power for sensors, relays, and small actuators. But it is small enough to fit through tight cable chains and drag chains.
The Shield That Protects Your Signals
This cable has the “CY” in the name. That means it has a shield. Specifically, it has a tinned copper braid. Why tin? Because tin does not rust. It stops corrosion before it starts.This braid wraps around the inner cores. It acts like a guard. It stops electromagnetic interference (EMI) from getting in. It also stops your cable from sending noise out to other wires. If you are running this cable next to a big motor or a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive), you need this shield. Without it, your sensor data gets corrupted. With it, your system runs smooth.
Tough Outer Skin (PVC Jacket)
The outside is made of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). This is a strong plastic. It resists oil, acids, and alkalis. If a little hydraulic fluid leaks on it, the cable does not melt. It stays strong.The outer diameter is about 7 mm to 8 mm (depending on the exact jacket thickness). It is round and compact. This makes it perfect for cable carriers (drag chains). It glides smoothly without getting stuck.

Where should you use this cable?
You can use this wire almost anywhere you need flexible power or control. It is a multi-purpose workhorse. Here are the top scenarios:
Machinery and Machine Tools
This is the #1 use case. CNC machines, lathes, milling machines, and packaging equipment all have moving parts. The control cables go inside drag chains. They move back and forth thousands of times. A solid wire would fatigue and break. This flexible 3G1.0 cable handles the motion perfectly.
Control Cabinets and Switchgear
Inside a control panel, space is tight. You have to route wires around corners and through narrow grommets. The flexible nature of this cable makes installation fast. Electricians love it because it strips easily and terminates cleanly on screw terminals or ferrules.
Robotics and Automation Arms
Robot arms twist and rotate. The cables inside the arm need to be highly flexible (torsion resistant). While special high-flex cables exist for the outer jacket, this 3-core cable is great for the internal wiring of the robot controller or for less severe bending applications in the arm.
Heating and Cooking Appliances (with care)
The H05VV-F rating (which this cable meets) allows for use in household appliances. However, the “CY” shielded version is more industrial. But if you are building industrial kitchen equipment or processing machinery that involves heat, the PVC jacket handles up to 70°C well. Note: Do not use this directly on heating elements. Use it for the control wiring to the thermostat or sensor.
Data and Signal Transmission (Low Voltage)
Because of the shield, you can use this for low-voltage data signals (like 24V DC sensor loops) even in noisy environments. It keeps the signal clean.
Why buy from us instead of the big brands?
You might ask, “Why not just buy LAPP?” LAPP is great. But they are expensive, and shipping from Germany takes weeks. We make the same quality cable right here. We use the same materials:
- High-purity copper.
- Class 5 stranding for flexibility.
- Tinned copper braid for shielding.
- VDE-approved PVC compounds.
We cut out the middleman. You get a product that meets the 1135203 standard, but at a fraction of the cost. And we can ship it fast.Our factory follows strict quality control. We test every batch for continuity, insulation resistance, and high voltage. We provide the CE Declaration of Performance (DoP). You get a certificate that proves the cable is safe and meets EU standards.
Don’t let a bad cable stop your production line
Imagine installing this cable today. Tomorrow, your machine starts up. No errors. No noise. The cable bends smoothly in the chain. It fits perfectly in the gland. It just works.You need a reliable partner for your wiring harnesses. Whether you need 100 meters for a prototype or 10,000 meters for mass production, we can handle it. We offer custom printing on the jacket if you need your brand name on it. We can also do different colors for the cores (Brown, Black, Grey/Green-Yellow) to match your wiring diagram.Ready to get a quote?Don’t gamble with cheap wire. Get the specs right the first time.
