The Noise in Your Factory is Costing You Money
You know the feeling. You turn on a heavy motor or a CNC machine starts cutting. Suddenly, your sensor readings jump around. The control panel flickers. The machine throws an error code and stops. This is electromagnetic interference (EMI). It is the ghost in the machine. It causes downtime. It ruins product batches. It drives your maintenance team crazy.You need a cable that fights back. You need a shield. Standard power cords act like antennas. They pick up noise. They spread noise. But you are not using standard cords anymore. You need the Lapp Olflex Classic 115 CY. This is a 4-core 16mm² shielded cable. It is built for the dirty electrical environments of real factories. It stops the noise. It keeps your data clean. It keeps your machines running smooth.
What Exactly is this 4G16 Shielded Cable?
This is not just a wire. It is a system. Lapp designed this for instrumentation and control systems. The “4G16” part tells you the size. You get 4 cores. Each core is 16 square millimeters of copper. That is thick. It handles high power loads easily.The “CY” in the name is important. It means the cable has a special construction. It has a tinned copper braid shield. This braid wraps around the inner wires. It catches electrical noise before it can hurt your equipment. The outer jacket is PVC. It is tough. It resists oil. It resists chemicals. You can pull it through tight spaces without tearing it.This cable is flexible. We call this “Class 5” stranding. The copper inside is made of many tiny wires twisted together. This makes the cable bend easily. You do not need huge force to route it around corners. It saves you time during installation.

Why This Cable Beats Standard Power Cords
You might ask, “Why pay more for this?” Here is the truth. Cheap cables fail. They crack. They let in moisture. They cause short circuits. This Lapp cable solves three big problems:1. It Fits in Tight SpacesLook at the diameter. It is only 20.2 mm. Most shielded cables this size are thicker. Lapp made it thin on purpose. It saves space in your control cabinet. You can fit more wires in the cable tray. This is huge for retrofit projects where space is tight.2. It Handles MovementIs this cable for a moving part? Maybe a robot arm? Or a door that opens and closes? The Olflex Classic 115 CY is rated for occasional flexing. The insulation does not crack when it moves. Standard PVC gets brittle. This one stays soft. It lasts longer in dynamic applications.3. It Stops Electromagnetic ChaosThis is the main selling point. The shield is 90% coverage. It blocks external noise from entering your sensitive sensors. It also keeps the noise from your motor inside the cable. This is critical for data lines. If you use this for a 4-wire circuit, your signals stay clean. No cross-talk. No errors.
Where Should You Use This Cable?
This cable is a workhorse. You see it everywhere in heavy industry. Here are the top places we sell it:Industrial Machinery and CNCConnect your servo motors. Power your control panels. Use it for auxiliary equipment. If you have a machine cutting tool, this is the cord you need. It handles the vibration. It handles the oil mist.HVAC and Building TechHeating and cooling systems have big motors. They create a lot of electrical noise. This cable is perfect for connecting temperature controllers and multi-axis control machines in buildings. It keeps the thermostat reading accurate.Wind TurbinesThe wind industry loves this specific model. It is used in the “drip loop” applications. This is where the cable hangs down from the nacelle to the tower. It needs to be UV resistant. It needs to be water-tight. The shield protects the control signals from the massive power generated by the blades.Outdoor Sheds and DistributionYou need power in an outdoor shed? Run this cable underground. The PVC jacket is tough enough for direct burial (with conduit). The 4 cores mean you have spare capacity. You can run a main circuit and a backup circuit in one pull.Photovoltaic (Solar) SystemsConnect the inverter to the distribution box. The shield prevents interference from the solar inverters messing up your monitoring systems.
Installation and Handling Tips
You are an electrician or an engineer. You know how to install wire. But here are a few tips for this specific cable to make your life easier:
- Strip Length: Do not strip too much insulation off the ends. Keep it short to maintain the shield integrity.
- Grounding: You must ground the shield correctly. Connect the tinned copper braid to the ground bar. If you do not ground it, the shield is useless. It becomes a floating antenna.
- Bending: Do not kink it. Use the minimum bend radius we listed (80mm). If you bend it too sharp, you damage the internal structure.
- Storage: Keep the coils in a dry place. If the ends get wet, water can wick up inside the PVC.
