We supply the 4G 1.5 sq mm version ready for your automation projects. It is halogen-free. It is robust. And it is built to last millions of cycles.
Below is everything you need to know about this specific drag chain wire. We cover the tech specs, the benefits, and where to use it. If you need a quote for imported halogen-free cable, just ask us. We ship globally.
What is the LAPP KABEL 855P Series?
This cable is part of the ÖLFLEX® family. The specific model is ÖLFLEX® FD 855 P. The “FD” stands for “Flexible Drag chain”. The “P” stands for PUR (Polyurethane) outer sheath.
It is a 4-core cable with a cross-section of 1.5 sq mm. This size is perfect for control signals, sensor data, and low-voltage power. It is a high flex cable. This means you can bend it in tight spaces. It fits perfectly in C-tracks, cable carriers, and drag chains.
Why choose this over cheap alternatives? Cheap cables crack. They get brittle. They stop data transmission. The LAPP 855P uses special materials. It resists oil, chemicals, and abrasion. It is a German engineering product. It meets the highest European standards.

Why “Halogen-Free” Matters for Your Business
You asked for halogen-free wire. Here is why it is critical for modern industry:
1. Safety First
If a fire happens, standard PVC cables release toxic smoke. It contains chlorine and halogens. This smoke kills people. It damages electronics. Halogen-free cables do not do this. They release very little smoke. The fumes are not corrosive. This is a legal requirement in public buildings, airports, and subways.
2. Eco-Friendly Manufacturing
Europe and North America have strict environmental laws (like RoHS and REACH). Using halogen-free cable ensures your machine complies. You can sell your equipment in Germany, the USA, or the UK without legal issues.
3. Better Performance
PUR material (used in 855P) is better than PVC. It does not get sticky when hot. It does not crack when cold. It resists hydrolysis (water damage). This imported cable from Germany gives your machine a premium feel.
Where to Use This Drag Chain Wire (Application Scenarios)
This 4-core 1.5mm cable is versatile. You can use it in many places. Here are the top application scenarios:
1. Industrial Robots & Robotic Arms
Robots move fast. Their joints bend constantly. The LAPP 855P is a top choice for robot cable. It handles the torsion and flexing in the wrist or elbow of a robot. It sends power and signals to the gripper or welder.
2. CNC Machines and Machining Centers
CNC machines vibrate. They use coolant and oil. A standard wire will rot in oil. The 855P series is oil-resistant. It is perfect for the chain that moves along the X, Y, or Z-axis.
3. Conveyor Systems and Palletizers
In a warehouse, conveyors run 24/7. The cable in the C-track gets pulled and pushed. This high flex cable handles the constant “push-pull” motion. It is ideal for sorting lines and packaging machines.
4. Elevators and Lifts (Partial Use)
While LAPP has specific lift cables (ÖLFLEX® LIFT), the 855P is great for control panels inside the shaft. It is flame retardant. It is safe for passenger areas.
5. Renewable Energy and Solar Trackers
Solar panels move to follow the sun. This movement requires flexible cabling. The UV resistance of the 855P sheath protects it from the sun. It handles the outdoor weather perfectly.
The “LAPP” Advantage: Quality You Can Trust
LAPP Group was founded in 1959 in Stuttgart, Germany. They invented the first flexible control cable. They are not a cheap copycat brand.
When you buy LAPP KABEL, you get:
- Consistency: Every meter is the same quality. No surprises.
- Longevity: These cables last 3x longer than generic brands.
- Support: Huge stock in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Xi’an. We can ship fast.
- Innovation: They develop new materials like SILFLEX (silicone) for extreme heat.
The 855P series specifically uses a special PUR mix. It has high mechanical strength. It resists being crushed. It resists being scraped against metal tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes. The black PUR sheath is UV-resistant and ozone-resistant. It handles rain and sun well.
Q: Can I use it for servo motors?
A: The 1.5mm version is mostly for control and data. For high-power servos, you might need thicker cores (like 2.5mm or 4mm). Check our ÖLFLEX® SERVO FD 755 P series for motor power.
Q: What is the difference between 855P and 810P?
A: 855P has a PUR sheath. It is more oil-resistant and tougher. 810P has a PVC sheath. It is cheaper but less resistant to oil. For harsh factories, choose 855P.
Q: Do you have UL/CSA certification?
A: Yes. LAPP KABEL is UL and CSA listed. This is crucial for export to the USA and Canada.
