What Makes the 1119204 Special?
This cable is a workhorse. It belongs to the LAPP 110 series, which is famous for being tough yet flexible. The part number 1119204 tells you exactly what you get. It is a 4-core cable with a cross-section of 1 mm². Each core is made of fine-stranded copper. This design gives it high flexibility. You can bend it, twist it, and move it without breaking the internal wires.
Unlike rigid power cables, this is a signal control cable. It is shielded against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Wait, actually, the standard 1119204 is unshielded (YY), but it is still perfect for general industrial use where heavy shielding is not required. If you need shielding, we can discuss other variants. But for most machinery, this PVC insulated cable is more than enough.
The outer sheath is gray (RAL 7001) and made of PVC. This material resists oil, chemicals, and abrasion. It is also flame-retardant. This means if there is a short circuit, the cable will not spread the fire. Safety comes first in your factory.
Technical Specifications You Can Trust
You need hard numbers to make a decision. Here is the data sheet for the LAPP 1119204 4G1 cable:
- Manufacturer: LAPP Cable (Olflex Classic 110 Series)
- Part Number: 1119204
- Conductor Material: Bare Copper (Fine-stranded)
- Number of Cores: 4 Cores
- Cross-Sectional Area: 1 mm² (17 AWG)
- Insulation Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- Sheath Material: PVC (Gray, RAL 7001)
- Rated Voltage: 300/500 V
- Rated Current: 15 A (depending on installation)
- Conductor Resistance: 19.5 Ohms/km
- Temperature Range: -40°C to +80°C (Fixed installation)
- Bending Radius: 4x Outer Diameter (Fixed) / 10x Outer Diameter (Moving)
- Outer Diameter: Approx. 6.5 mm
- Length: Standard 100 meters coils
These specs show why it is a top choice for engineers. The 1 mm² copper core handles 15 Amps easily. This is enough for sensors, actuators, and small motors. The voltage rating of 300/500V covers almost all low-voltage control circuits.
Where Should You Use This Cable?
You can use this cable anywhere you need to connect a machine to a power source or a controller. It is a multi-core cable, so it is perfect for carrying multiple signals in one go. Here are the best use cases:
1. Machine Tools and CNC Machines
This is the #1 spot. Machine tool control cables need to move. The Olflex Classic 110 is designed for “medium mechanical stress.” It handles the constant motion of robotic arms and CNC heads. It resists oil and coolant splashes common in machine shops.
2. Refrigeration and HVAC Equipment
The flexible PVC sheath does not get brittle in the cold. It is great for connecting temperature sensors and compressors in refrigeration equipment. It stays flexible even in freezer environments (down to -40°C).
3. Process Control Systems
In chemical plants or water treatment, you need reliability. The PVC outer sheath resists many chemicals. Use it to connect PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) to field instruments. It ensures your 4-20mA signals get through clearly.
4. Conveyor Belts and Packaging Machinery
These systems vibrate a lot. A stiff cable will snap. The flexible 4 core cable absorbs vibration. It is ideal for connecting photo-eyes and limit switches on conveyor systems.
5. Building Automation
For HVAC controls, lighting, or security systems, this cable is a cost-effective choice. It is easy to strip and terminate. Electricians love it because it is easy to route through walls and ceilings.
Why Choose Copper and PVC?
You might ask, why not aluminum? Why not rubber?
Pure Copper Core is King
Copper has the best conductivity. The 17 AWG stranding (32/0.20 mm) means the wire is made of 32 tiny wires twisted together. This makes it super flexible. If you use solid wire, it will break if you bend it once. Our stranded copper can bend thousands of times. It also resists corrosion better than aluminum.
PVC is Versatile
PVC is the industry standard for a reason. It is tough. It resists oil, acids, and alkalis. The gray PVC sheath on the 1119204 is also UV-resistant. You can use it outdoors for short periods without it cracking. It is also “cold resistant.” This means you can install it in winter without worrying about the jacket shattering.
Unshielded (YY) vs. Shielded
The 1119204 is an unshielded cable (YY). This makes it lighter and cheaper. It is perfect for general power and control. However, if you are running this cable next to high-frequency drives or radio equipment, you might get noise. For those cases, we also supply shielded versions (like CY or SY). But for 90% of standard applications, the YY type is the smart, economical choice.
Quality You Can Feel
LAPP is a German brand. They are famous for strict quality control. When you buy the 1119204, you are buying peace of mind.
The manufacturing process is advanced. They draw the copper wires to the exact diameter. They extrude the PVC insulation evenly. This ensures the wall thickness is perfect. No thin spots that could lead to shorts.
The cabling process twists the 4 cores together with a specific lay length. This keeps the cable round and balanced. It prevents the cable from “untwisting” when you strip the ends.
They also use non-hygroscopic fillers. This means the inside of the cable does not absorb water. Even if the outer sheath gets a small scratch, moisture won’t travel down the cable and ruin your connections.
Installation Tips for Long Life
To get the most out of your 1119204 cable, follow these simple rules:
- Respect the Bending Radius: Do not bend the cable sharper than 4 times its diameter (about 26mm) when installing. If it is moving, keep it to 10 times (65mm). Bending it too tight will damage the copper strands over time.
- Use the Right Glands: Use cable glands rated for 6.5mm cables. We recommend IP69K glands if you are in a wash-down area.
- Terminate Properly: Use ferrules on the ends of the stranded copper wires. This keeps the strands together and ensures a solid connection in screw terminals.
- Separate Power and Signal: Even though this cable can carry power, try to keep high-voltage power cables away from low-voltage signal cables to avoid interference.
