Tired of electrical noise stopping your machines?
You know the feeling. You have a high-end CNC machine or a complex conveyor system. Everything is wired up. But then, sensors start acting weird. Data signals get corrupted. The control panel shows errors for no reason. You check the connections, but they look fine. The problem is often invisible. It is electromagnetic interference (EMI) attacking your signal cables.Cheap cables act like antennas. They pick up noise from motors, frequency converters, and power lines. This “noise” creates data errors. It causes downtime. It costs you money in lost production and troubleshooting hours. You need a cable that fights back. You need a cable that blocks this noise before it reaches your control system.This is why we built the LAPP ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 CY 7G1.0 mm². It is not just a wire. It is a shield for your data. It is a German-engineered solution for the real-world problems you face every day in industrial automation.
What makes this 7-core shielded cable special?
This cable is a heavy hitter in the world of control cables. Let’s break down the name so you know exactly what you are getting. When you see “7G1.0,” it means you have 7 separate copper cores inside. Each core has a cross-section of 1.0 square millimeter. This size is perfect for control circuits. It carries enough power for sensors and small actuators without being too thick to bend.The “CY” in the name is the secret sauce. It stands for the cable’s construction standard. But the star of the show is the “Transparent” outer sheath. Most cables are black or gray. You have to cut them to see the cores inside. With this LAPP cable, the jacket is clear. You can see the core colors and the print numbers without stripping the insulation. This makes installation and troubleshooting 10 times faster.It also has a collective shield. This is a tinned copper braid that wraps around all the inner cores. It acts like a Faraday cage. It catches high-frequency noise and drains it to the ground. This ensures your 110-ohm or low-voltage signals stay clean, even when running next to heavy power cables.
Built to survive the harsh factory floor
Factories are not clean rooms. They are hot, oily, and dirty places. A cable that cracks in the cold or melts in the heat is useless to you. The ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 CY is built for war.The outer jacket is made of special PVC. It is flexible down to -15°C (5°F). It resists oil, acids, and alkalis. If you work in a bottling plant with oil leaks, or a chemical processing facility, this cable won’t degrade quickly. It also passes the VDE flame test. If a fire starts, it won’t spread the flames along the cable tray.You also need flexibility. This cable is not stiff. It uses fine-wire stranding (Class 5 according to IEC 60228). This means the copper inside is made of many tiny wires, not one solid rod. You can bend it, twist it, and route it through tight cable chains. It handles torsion stress well. If your machine parts move, the cable moves with them without breaking.
Technical Specs that matter to engineers
We know you need hard numbers for your BOM and schematics. Here is the raw data for the 7G1.0 mm² version:
- Voltage Rating: 300/500 Volts (U0/U). Test voltage is 4,000 Volts (4kV). This gives you a huge safety margin.
- Conductor: Bare copper, fine-wire stranded (Class 5). Resistance is about 19.5 Ohms per kilometer at 20°C.
- Insulation: PVC (LAPP P8/1). Color-coded cores with numbers printed on them.
- Shielding: Tinned copper braid. Coverage is high to ensure low transfer impedance (max 250 Ohm/km at 30 MHz).
- Outer Diameter: Approximately 8.0 mm to 8.5 mm (depending on tension).
- Weight: Roughly 126 kg per kilometer.
- Temperature Range: Fixed installation from -40°C to +90°C. Flexing from -5°C to +70°C.
- Bending Radius: Minimum 6x diameter for fixed runs. 20x diameter for moving applications.
- Approvals: VDE certified. Meets EN 50525-2-51. UL and CSA approvals available on specific variants.
Where should you use this cable?
You can use this cable anywhere you need reliable signal transmission. It is a “Swiss Army Knife” for industrial wiring. Here are the top use cases:1. CNC Machines and RoboticsRobots move constantly. Their cables twist and turn. This cable handles flexing better than standard hook-up wire. The shield prevents the robot’s own motors from interfering with the precise position sensors.2. HVAC SystemsHeating and air-conditioning units have fans and compressors that create electrical noise. This cable keeps the control signals for your thermostats and dampers clean.3. Conveyor and Transport SystemsLong runs of cable next to variable frequency drives (VFDs) are a recipe for noise. The braided shield on the 7G1.0 cable blocks the interference from the VFDs, keeping your sensors online.4. EMC-Sensitive EnvironmentsIf you are in a lab or a precision manufacturing setting, you cannot afford “ground loops” or signal jitter. This cable is designed for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).5. Process Control and InstrumentationFor 4-20mA loops or digital communication lines, the 1.0mm² copper provides low resistance over long distances (up to 100 meters or more depending on load).
Why buy LAPP instead of generic brands?
You might find cheaper “7-core 1mm” cables online. But you get what you pay for. LAPP has been making cables for decades. Their quality control is strict.With generic cables, you risk:
- Inconsistent copper purity (higher resistance).
- Poor shielding coverage (gaps let noise in).
- Jackets that crack after a month of UV exposure.
- False “VDE” claims.
LAPP ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 CY comes with a guarantee. The copper is high-purity. The shielding is tight. The printing on the cores is laser-marked and won’t rub off. The transparent jacket lets you verify the quality visually. You are paying for reliability. You are paying to stop your production line from shutting down.
