Is your factory floor a nightmare of signal interference and broken wires?
You know the feeling. You just fixed a machine, and a week later, it stops again. The control panel shows errors that don’t make sense. Sensors give wrong readings. Or maybe your cables crack after a few months of moving around. This is not just annoying. It costs you real money in downtime and repairs.You need a cable that doesn’t quit. You need a wire that handles noise, moves without breaking, and lets you see what’s going on inside. You need the ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 CY 5G1 mm² shielded cable. It is built for the real world. It stops the noise. It bends without breaking. It lasts longer than standard wires. Let’s look at why this is the best choice for your control systems.
What makes the 5G1 1 mm² cable special?
This is not just a generic wire. This is a specific tool for your engineering team. The “5G1” name tells you exactly what you get. It has 5 cores. Each core is 1 square millimeter in size. The “G” means it has a protective earth ground wire. The “CY” code is very important. It means the cable is oil-resistant. It also means the outer sheath is transparent.Why transparent? Because you need to see the cores. You need to check for damage or corrosion without cutting the wire open. The copper inside is bare copper. It is not just a thin foil. It is a fine-wire stranding according to IEC 60228 Class 5. This makes the cable very flexible. You can bend it around corners in tight control cabinets. You can use it in moving parts like robotic arms.

Solve Your EMC and Noise Problems
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a big headache. If you don’t shield your cables, motors and frequency drives create noise. This noise messes up your data signals. The ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 CY has a shield. It is a tinned copper braid. It wraps around the inner cores.This shield acts like a cage. It catches the noise from outside. It stops the noise from getting into your signal wires. It also stops your cable from sending noise to other devices. This is critical for sensor cables. It is vital for data transmission in PLC systems. If you are working in a factory with heavy motors, you must use shielded cable. This product gives you that protection without the high cost of special industrial data cables.
Built for Movement and Torsion
Many control cables are for fixed walls only. If you move them, they crack. This cable is different. It uses fine-stranded copper (Class 5). This means the wire is made of many tiny wires twisted together. It is like a rope instead of a solid stick. A rope bends easily. A stick snaps.Because of this design, you can use this cable in cable chains (energy chains). You can use it on robotic arms. You can use it in torsion applications. For example, in wind turbines, cables twist as the nacelle turns. This cable handles that stress. The PVC outer sheath resists abrasion. It resists oils and chemicals. If you have a machine that moves, this is the cable you need.
The “CY” Advantage: Oil and Chemical Resistance
Standard PVC cables get soft when they touch oil. They swell up. They fail. The “CY” in the name stands for “Chlorinated Polyolefin” or special PVC compounds designed for oil resistance. The outer sheath is tough. It does not get sticky when it touches lubricants.This makes it perfect for machine tools. It is great for automotive assembly lines where oil is everywhere. It is also good for HVAC systems. The transparent sheath lets maintenance guys see the wire color codes. They can trace a wire from point A to point B easily. If the wire is damaged, they see the discoloration immediately. This speeds up troubleshooting a lot.
Where should you use this cable?
You can use this wire almost anywhere you need power or control signals. Here are the top use cases:
- Machine Building: Wiring control cabinets, connecting sensors to PLCs, and powering solenoid valves.
- HVAC Systems: Connecting thermostats, actuators, and fan controllers. The flexibility helps in tight duct spaces.
- Wind Turbines: For pitch control systems and sensor monitoring inside the nacelle.
- Food and Beverage: The PVC is compliant with standards for indirect food contact. It is easy to clean.
- Water and Waste Water: The sheath resists moisture and mild chemicals.
- Stage and Event Technology: For lighting rigs and audio setups that need to be moved and rolled up quickly.
Why buy ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 instead of generic brands?
You can buy cheap cable from a local market. But will it work in 5 years? Probably not. LAPP is a German brand. They have been making cables for decades. The quality control is strict. Every meter is tested.When you buy this cable, you buy peace of mind. You know the copper is pure. You know the insulation thickness is exact. You know the shield coverage is high. Cheap cables often skip the shield or use recycled copper. This causes voltage drops and overheating.For a外贸 (foreign trade) business, quality is your reputation. If you sell machines, you need reliable parts inside them. Using LAPP cable makes your final product look premium. It reduces warranty claims for your customers. It is a small cost for a big upgrade in reliability.
Pricing and Availability for 2026
We know price matters. The market for copper changes every day. As of April 2026, the copper index is high. This affects the base price. However, we offer competitive pricing for bulk orders.For a 50-meter roll of similar spec (1.5mm²), the price is around RMB 2,000 – 3,000 in the Chinese market. For the 1 mm² 5-core version, expect a slightly lower price per meter due to less copper. We offer:
- Per Meter Pricing: Flexible for prototyping. No minimum order quantity on some items.
- Bulk Discounts: Buy 100m, 500m, or full drums (1000m+) for lower rates.
- Custom Lengths: We can cut to length and strip ends if needed.
- Global Shipping: We ship via air or sea. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) options available for the US and EU.
