What is LIYCY TP 2X2X0.5 Cable?
This cable is a specific type of data and signal cable. The name “LIYCY” comes from the German VDE standard. It means it is a high-quality cable built for tough jobs. The “TP” stands for twisted pair. Inside the cable, you have pairs of wires twisted together. This specific model is 2X2X0.5. This means it has 2 pairs of wires. Each pair has 2 cores. Each core is 0.5 square millimeters in size. So, it is a 4-core cable in total.
The most important feature is the shielding. It has a braided copper shield and an aluminum foil shield. This double protection stops electromagnetic interference (EMI). It keeps your signals clean. This cable is ideal for connecting sensors, PLCs, and drives. It works well in environments with motors and high-frequency noise. It is not a power cable. It is for control signals and data communication only.
Why Choose Twisted Pair Shielded Cable?
Signal loss is a big problem in factories. Motors and welders create a lot of electrical noise. If your cable is not shielded, this noise can corrupt your data. This causes system crashes or wrong readings. The twisted pair design helps cancel out noise. When wires are twisted, they pick up opposite interference signals. These signals cancel each other out.
The shielding adds a second layer of defense. The copper braid blocks external magnetic fields. The aluminum foil blocks high-frequency interference. Together, they create a Faraday cage around the copper cores. This ensures your signal travels from point A to point B without errors. You get stable performance even next to heavy machinery. This is why LIYCY TP is the top choice for engineers who need reliability.
Key Technical Specifications
Understanding the specs helps you choose the right cable. Here are the detailed parameters for our LIYCY TP 2X2X0.5:
- Conductor Material: Bare copper or tinned copper. Tinned copper resists oxidation better.
- Insulation Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). It is flame retardant and durable.
- Shielding: Copper wire braid + Aluminum/Polyester foil. Coverage is usually above 85%.
- Outer Sheath: PVC. Color is typically black or grey. We can customize colors.
- Rated Voltage: 300V / 500V. It is for low voltage control circuits.
- Test Voltage: 1500V. This ensures the insulation is strong.
- Temperature Range: Fixed installation: -30°C to +70°C. Moving installation: -5°C to +70°C.
- Minimum Bending Radius: 7.5 times the cable diameter. Do not bend it too sharp.
- Conductor Resistance: Less than 5000 MΩ/km at 20°C.
- Capacitance: Approx 110 nF/km. This affects signal speed over long distances.
- Impedance: Not strictly controlled like coax, but designed for data balance.
These specs meet the DIN VDE 0812 standard. They also meet IEC 60332-1 for flame retardancy. This cable is safe to use in cable trays and conduits.
Where to Use This Cable?
This cable is very versatile. You can use it in many industrial scenes. Here are the most common applications:
- PLC and CNC Systems: Connect Programmable Logic Controllers to I/O modules. The twisted pairs ensure digital signals are accurate.
- Sensor Wiring: Use it for 4-20mA current loops or voltage signals. It protects weak sensor signals from noise.
- Motor Control: Connect variable frequency drives (VFDs) to motors for feedback signals. Not for main power, but for control lines.
- Building Automation: Use it in HVAC systems, lighting control, and security systems.
- Robotics: It is flexible enough for drag chains in robotic arms. It resists oil and mechanical stress.
- Audio and Data: It can be used for low-voltage audio signals or basic data buses like RS-485.
If your project involves moving parts or high interference, this is the cable you need. It is rated for oily environments and direct burial (with extra armor options).
Construction Details Matter
Let’s look inside the cable. Quality comes from the materials. We use high-purity electrolytic copper for the conductor. This ensures low resistance and good conductivity. The insulation is premium PVC. It does not crack easily in cold weather. It also resists abrasion during installation.
The twisting process is precise. We twist the pairs at a specific pitch. This pitch is optimized to reject noise at common industrial frequencies. The shielding is dense. A loose braid lets noise leak in. Our braid is tight, covering over 85% of the surface. The drain wire makes grounding easy and fast.
The outer jacket is tough. It resists chemicals, oil, and UV light. If you need a special jacket, we can offer PUR (Polyurethane) for high flexibility. We can also offer Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) for indoor or public buildings. LSZH does not produce toxic smoke if it burns.
Quality Control and Certifications
We do not compromise on quality. Every batch of LIYCY TP cable is tested. We check the conductor diameter. We test the insulation thickness. We do a spark test to find pinholes. We also test the shielding continuity.
Our factory has ISO 9001 certification. Our products meet European CE standards. They also meet the German VDE standard. For the US market, we can provide UL certification if needed. We also follow RoHS rules. This means no lead or heavy metals. It is safe for the environment.
We test the bending life. We bend the cable thousands of times to ensure it does not break. We test the tensile strength. The cable must not snap when pulled during installation. We ensure the print on the cable is clear and permanent. It includes the type, size, and standard number.
