Tired of Cables That Are Too Stiff or Break Easily?
You know the struggle. You are building a control panel or a machine. The space is tight. You need a cable that bends easily but also protects your signals from noise. If you use a standard cable, it might be too thick to fit. If you use a cheap cable, the shielding might break, and your sensors start acting crazy. You need a cable that works hard and lasts long. This is why we built the ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 115 CY 7G2.5. It is not just a wire. It is a solution for your installation headaches. It solves the problem of tight spaces. It stops electromagnetic interference. It handles chemical spills. This is the cable engineers trust for critical applications.
What Makes the 115 CY 7G2.5 Special?
This cable is a star in the Lapp Group family. It is a screened PVC control cable with a special design. The “CY” stands for the shielding and the special jacket. The “7G2.5” means it has 7 cores, and each core is 2.5 square millimeters in size. The “G” tells you it has a green/yellow ground wire. This is a flexible cable class 5. This means the copper wires inside are very fine. They are not just one solid stick. This makes the cable super flexible. You can bend it around corners without forcing it. The outer sheath is PVC. It is grey. It resists oil and coolant. It is flame retardant too. If a fire starts, it does not spread easily. This cable is built for the real world.
Technical Specs You Need to Know
Let’s look at the numbers. You need to know if it fits your spec. The voltage rating is U0/U 300/500 Volt. This is standard for control gear. The test voltage is 4000 Volt. This shows it is strong. The conductor is plain annealed copper. It is class 5 flexible. The max resistance at 20 degrees C is 7.98 Ohm per km. This is low resistance. It means less power loss. The shielding is a tinned copper braid. It has 85% coverage. This is high coverage. It blocks almost all noise. The outer diameter is about 11.9 mm to 14 mm depending on the pack. It is small. The weight is around 340 kg per km. It is not too heavy. The temperature range is -30°C to +70°C for static use. For moving use, it is -5°C to +70°C. The minimum bending radius is 6 times the diameter for fixed install. It is 20 times for moving install. It meets IEC 60332-1-2 for flames. It has the CE mark.
Where Should You Use This Cable?
You can use this cable in many places. It is great for machine tools. Think of CNC machines or injection molding machines. The constant movement needs a flexible cable. It is perfect for assembly lines. Robots move around. The cable needs to flex millions of times. It works well in HVAC systems. Heating and air conditioning units have motors and sensors. They need shielding. It is good for data processing equipment. Computers and servers hate noise. This cable keeps the data clean. You can use it in measuring and regulation tech. Precision tools need clean signals. It is also good for wind turbines and drip loops. It handles outdoor weather. It resists UV and moisture. If you have a wet or damp environment, this PVC jacket protects the copper.
Why Choose a Shielded Cable?
Noise is the enemy of control systems. Motors, relays, and VFDs create electromagnetic fields. These fields create noise in your signal wires. If your sensor wire is not shielded, it picks up this noise. The PLC reads a wrong number. The machine stops. You lose money. The ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 115 CY has a copper braid shield. It acts like a cage. It catches the noise and sends it to the ground. It does not let the noise touch the inner cores. The “CY” construction is special. It does not have an inner jacket. The shield is right over the insulation. This saves space. It makes the diameter smaller. A smaller diameter means you can fit more cables in a trunking. It also makes the cable lighter. This is a smart design for tight spots.
Is It Strong Enough for Industry?
Yes, it is very strong. The outer sheath is PVC type ST3 or similar. It is tough. It resists abrasion. If it rubs against metal, it does not wear out fast. It has good chemical resistance. It handles oils, acids, and alkalis. This is vital in factories where coolants leak. The insulation is also PVC. It is color-coded. The cores have numbers printed on them. Black with white numbers. This makes wiring easy. Your electricians will not make mistakes. The ground wire is green/yellow. It is safe. The cable is flame retardant. It self-extinguishes. This meets safety standards for buildings. You can trust this cable in your cabinet. It will not let you down.
How to Install It Properly
Installing this cable is easy because it is flexible. But you must follow rules. Do not bend it too sharp. The minimum bend radius is 6 times the diameter if it stays still. If it moves, use 20 times. For example, if the cable is 12 mm wide, the bend should be 72 mm for fixed. It should be 240 mm for moving. If you bend it too much, you break the shield. You break the copper strands. Always strip the jacket carefully. Do not nick the insulation. Use the right gland. Since it is shielded, use a gland that maintains the shield connection. This keeps the noise protection working. Terminate the shield to a ground bar. Do not let it float. A floating shield is useless.
