UNITRONIC® LiYCY 6×0.34 mm² Shielded Signal Cable – German Quality 6-Core Data Cable for Industrial Control & Extension

Stop Losing Data and Dealing with Electrical Noise

You know the feeling. You install a new sensor or connect a machine interface, and the system acts crazy. The readings jump around. The signal drops. You get “ghost” data that ruins your production run. This happens because of electrical noise. Motors, welders, and even other cables create invisible waves that mess up your delicate signals.If you use cheap, unshielded wires, you are asking for trouble. The cables might break when you bend them. The connectors might rust. The installation takes forever because the wire is too stiff. You need a cable that fights back against noise. You need a cable that is tough enough for the factory floor but flexible enough to fit in tight spaces. You need the German imported cable, 6-core 0.34 sq mm shielded signal cable that professionals trust. This isn’t just a wire. It is a shield for your data.

What Makes This LiYCY 6×0.34 Cable Special?

This is not a generic wire you find in a bargain bin. This is a LiYCY 6×0.34 mm² cable. It is built to a specific German standard (DIN 47100). Let’s break down what that means for you in plain English.First, it has 6 cores. Each core has a cross-section of 0.34 sq mm. This size is the “Goldilocks” of signal cables. It is thick enough to carry data over long distances without losing power. But it is thin enough to stay flexible.Second, it is shielded. This is the most important part. Imagine a cage around your delicate wires. That cage is made of tinned copper braiding. It catches all the electrical noise (EMI) from the outside and drains it to the ground. It keeps your signal pure. Whether you are using this as a connector cable or a raw spool for wiring, that shield stops the interference.Third, it is flexible. We use fine-wire stranding. This means the copper inside isn’t one solid stiff rod. It is made of many tiny wires twisted together. You can bend this cable around corners without kinking it. This saves you hours of frustration during installation.

Technical Specs: The Numbers You Need

When you buy industrial cable, you need hard facts. Here is exactly what you get with this 6-core shielded signal cable:

• Product Type: Low-frequency data cable (UNITRONIC® LiYCY)
• Article Number Reference: 0034506 (LAPP standard)
• Number of Cores: 6
• Conductor Cross-Section: 0.34 mm² (approx. 22 AWG)
• Conductor Material: Bare copper (high purity, low resistance)
• Stranding: Fine-wire stranded (Class 5 flexibility)
• Insulation Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Sheath Material: PVC (Grey, RAL 7032)
• Shielding: Tinned copper braiding (high coverage)
• Nominal Outer Diameter: 6.8 mm (approx. 0.27 inches)
• Weight: Approx. 64 kg/km (about 0.14 lbs/ft)
• Voltage Rating: 300V / 500V (U0/U)
• Test Voltage: 1.5 kV
• Max Conductor Resistance: 57 Ω/km at 20°C
• Temperature Range: Fixed: -40°C to +80°C; Flexed: -5°C to +70°C
• Fire Behavior: Flame retardant (EN 60332-1-2)
• Certifications: CE, VDE, CPR (EU Construction Products Regulation)
• Oil & Acid Resistance: Limited resistance (standard PVC)

These numbers matter. The 6.8 mm diameter is compact. You can run more cables in a conduit without overfilling it. The 64 kg/km weight means it is light. It doesn’t sag when you hang it from a tray. The 500V rating gives you a safety buffer for most industrial control panels.

Built for the Real World: Toughness & Safety

You might ask, “Is this just for inside a clean cabinet?” No. This German imported cable is built for the real world.The outer sheath is made of robust PVC. PVC is tough. It resists abrasion. If the cable rubs against a metal machine frame, it won’t wear through quickly. It also resists oils and acids found in many factories.It handles temperature swings. It works in cold warehouses (down to -40°C) without cracking like cheap plastic. It handles heat (up to 80°C) near motors without melting.Safety is key. This cable is flame retardant. If there is a short circuit or a spark, the cable won’t spread the fire. It self-extinguishes. This is critical for meeting building codes in Europe and North America. It also meets the CPR (Construction Products Regulation) standards. You can use it in walls, ceilings, and floors legally and safely.

Where to Use This Cable (Application Scenarios)

This LiYCY 6×0.34 is a workhorse. Here are the top ways our customers use it:

Machine Interfaces and Robotics

Robots move. Their arms twist and turn. Standard wires snap under that stress. This cable is flexible. It moves with the robot arm. It carries encoder signals or sensor data perfectly. The shield stops the robot’s own motor noise from messing up the data.

Control Cabinets and PLCs

Inside a control panel, space is tight. You have hundreds of wires. The grey PVC jacket doesn’t leave black marks like rubber does. It looks clean. The color code (DIN 47100) helps your electricians wire it fast. Red, black, grey, green—they know which is which.

Process Control and Measurement

In chemical plants or water treatment, sensors send tiny signals. A tiny bit of noise can look like a change in pressure or temperature. The tinned copper braid shield ensures the reading is real. It protects the 0.34 sq mm signal cores from the heavy power cables running nearby.

Audio and Data Extension

Some customers use this as a high-end extension cable for specialized audio or low-voltage data. Because the copper is high purity (German sourced), the signal loss is minimal. It is much better than cheap speaker wire for low-voltage signals.

Why “German Imported” Matters for Quality

You see “German Cable” on many products. Why? Because Germany has strict rules.The copper isn’t just “copper.” It is high-purity copper. This means less resistance. Less resistance means less heat. Less heat means the cable lasts longer.The manufacturing process is precise. The shielding coverage is consistent. You don’t get “gaps” in the shield where noise can sneak in. Every batch is tested. They check the diameter, the insulation thickness, and the spark test voltage.When you buy this 6-core 0.34 sq mm shielded signal cable, you are buying peace of mind. You know it won’t fail in a year. You know it passes the VDE tests. You know it has the CE mark. It is engineered for a 20-year life in a harsh factory.

Comparison: LiYCY vs. Standard PVC Cable

Let’s be honest. You could buy cheaper cable. But here is what you lose:

If you use cheap cable, you pay for it later. You pay when the machine stops. You pay when the electrician has to re-wire the panel because of noise issues. Invest in the LiYCY now. Save money later.
