Stop Signal Loss and Electrical Noise in Your Machines
Do you have trouble with data cables that break easily? Or maybe your signals get messy because of motor noise? If you run factories, build automation panels, or set up computer networks, you need a cable that works hard. You need a cable that stops interference and lasts a long time.
We make the LIYCYTP 6-core 0.25 sq mm twisted-pair shielded cable. This is not just a wire. It is a high-quality solution for signal and data transmission. We build it to European VDE standards. It fits perfectly in tight spaces. It resists oil and chemicals. Best of all, it keeps your data safe from noise.
Read below to see why this cable is the best choice for your project. We will cover every detail. If you need a custom quote, just ask us. We ship worldwide.
What Exactly is LIYCYTP 6×0.25mm Cable?
Let’s break down the name. It sounds technical, but it is simple.
LIYCY is the German VDE code. “LI” means flexible control cable. “Y” means PVC insulation. “CY” means it has a copper braid shield.
TP stands for Twisted Pair. We twist two wires together. This cancels out electrical noise.
6-core 0.25 sq mm means the size. You get 3 pairs of wires. That is 6 wires total. Each wire has a cross-section of 0.25 square millimeters. This size is perfect for low-voltage signals. It is not for main power. It is for data and control.
This specific type is 3x2x0.25 mm. This means 3 groups. Each group has 2 wires. Each wire is 0.25 mm².
We use this cable in dry or damp indoor places. It works great with servo motors, robots, and computer systems. It is not for outside use in the sun or rain. But inside a machine or a building, it is the king of cables.
Built Like a Tank: Internal Structure
You need to know what is inside the gray jacket. We do not cut corners. Every layer has a job.
The Conductor: Pure Copper Flexibility
The core is bare copper. We use many thin strands twisted together. This is Class 5 flexibility per IEC 60228. It is not a solid stiff rod. You can bend it. It resists vibration. It does not snap when you move it.
Insulation and Twisting
Each copper wire has a special PVC jacket. We use color codes (DIN 47100). Usually, you see black/white, red/white, etc. We twist two insulated wires together. This “twisted pair” design is key. It fights against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The Shield: Your Noise Blocker
This is the most important part for data. We wrap the pairs in foil. Then, we add a braid of tinned copper wires. The coverage is 85% or more. This metal shield acts like a cage. It stops outside noise from ruining your signal. It also stops your signal from leaking out.
The Outer Sheath
The outside is gray PVC. It is tough. It resists oil. If your factory has grease or coolant, this jacket holds up. It also has a flame-retardant feature. If there is a short circuit spark, it self-extinguishes. It does not spread fire.

Why Choose This Shielded Cable? (Key Benefits)
You might ask, “Why not use a cheaper unshielded cable?” Here is the truth.
Kill the Noise
Factories are noisy. Motors, welders, and VFDs create magnetic fields. A normal cable picks this up. Your data gets errors. Your screen flickers. With the LIYCYTP shield, your signal stays clean. It is essential for precise measurements.
Super Flexible
Tight spaces? No problem. The minimum bending radius is small. You can route this cable around corners inside control cabinets. It saves space. You do not need big bends. It fits into drag chains for light duty use.
Oil and Chemical Resistant
The PVC jacket is special. We mix it to resist oils. In automotive plants or food processing, cables get dirty. You can wipe this clean. It does not get brittle like cheap rubber.
Safe and Certified
We follow strict rules. The cable passes the IEC 60332-1 flame test. It is safe for building wiring. It has the CE mark for Europe. It meets UL standards for North America. You can use it globally.
Where to Use This Cable (Real World Scenarios)
This cable is a workhorse. Here is where we see it used most:
Industrial Automation & PLC
Connect your PLC to sensors and actuators. The shield protects the 24V signals. It works in damp environments. It is perfect for conveyor belts and assembly lines.
Servo Motors and Robotics
Servos create a lot of electrical noise. You need a feedback cable that is shielded. This LIYCYTP 3x2x0.25 is ideal for encoder signals. It handles the vibration of the robot arm.
Computer and Office Networks
Use it for structured cabling inside walls or under floors. It is small enough for patch panels. The pairs are color-coded for easy termination.
Audio and Security Systems
Low voltage audio signals need shielding. So do CCTV cameras. This cable prevents “hum” in audio and “snow” in video.
Measurement and Control
In labs or medical devices, precision matters. The twisted pair ensures differential signals arrive perfectly. No data corruption.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use this cable outside?
No. The PVC jacket is not UV stable. Sunlight will crack it. Use it indoors or in conduits only.
Is this cable waterproof?
It is water-resistant, not waterproof. You can use it in damp or wet indoor conditions (like basements). But do not submerge it in water.
What connectors fit this?
The outer diameter is about 7.8mm to 8.2mm. You can use standard RJ45 plugs if it’s Cat5e spec, or D-Sub connectors. For screw terminals, strip the shield back carefully.
How do I ground the shield?
Ground the braid at ONE end only. Usually the control panel end. If you ground both ends, you create a ground loop. This causes noise.
Can you make different colors?
Yes. We make gray standard. But we can do black, blue, orange, or green. Minimum order quantities apply.
