Full technical breakdown Lapp ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 CY 300/500V: shielded multi-core control cable for CNC machine tools, conveyor systems, automation panels. Characteristic transparent PVC outer sheath allows visual inspection of tinned copper braid shield integrity. "CY" designates copper shield (copperScreen) protecting low-voltage control signals from electromagnetic interference (EMC) from nearby power cables, frequency converters, welding equipment, RF sources. Standard configurations: 2–100 cores, 0.5–35 mm² sections with digital marking (black cores + white numbers) + yellow-green earth. Conductor class 5 per VDE 0295 (maximum flexibility), min. bending radius 20× OD in mobile applications. Special PVC insulation (Lapp composition) provides -5°C to +70°C (mobile) / -40°C to +80°C (fixed). Flame retardant IEC 60332-1-2 (self-extinguishing). Tinned copper braid shield density ~85%, effective EMI suppression 50 Hz to several MHz. Transparent sheath is Lapp trademark — allows visual shield inspection without cutting. Russian alternatives: КГВВЭ (usually black/grey sheath, color-coded cores), МКЭШВ (small sections). European standard YSLYCY-JZ from Helukabel, TKD, Faber. FeiChun YSLYCY-JZ — full drop-in equivalent with transparent PVC, digital marking, 85%+ copper braid.

The nominal outer diameter (OD) of a LAPP ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 115 CY 4G1.5 VDE 0250 four-conductor shielded control cable (Article number 1136304) is precisely 8.2 millimeters (0.323 inches), representing one of the most compact shielded multi-conductor control cables available in the industrial market. This exceptionally small diameter represents the deliberate design philosophy behind the CLASSIC 115 series: eliminating the inner protective sheath layer found in many competing control cables, thereby minimizing overall cable diameter while maintaining complete EMC shielding through a high-coverage tinned copper braided shield. The cable contains exactly four conductors, each with a 1.5 square millimeter cross-sectional area (the 4G1.5 designation), with one conductor specifically designated as the green-yellow protective earth/ground conductor per VDE 0293-308 color coding standards. The total copper conductor mass is approximately 100 kilograms per kilometer, while the complete assembled cable including PVC insulation, outer sheath, and braided copper shield weighs only approximately 135 kilograms per kilometer—among the lightest shielded four-conductor cables available for control applications. This compact, lightweight design makes the ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 115 CY ideally suited for space-constrained installations such as densely wired control panels, measurement and control technology systems, data processing equipment, and industrial machinery where cable routing must navigate tight spaces and equipment enclosure penetrations with minimal material volume.

The nominal outer diameter (OD) of a Lapp ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 CY 12G1.5 shielded multi-conductor control cable is approximately 14.8 millimeters (0.583 inches). This specification represents a 12-core cable where each core has a nominal cross-section of 1.5 square millimeters, with one of those cores designated as a green-yellow (dual-color) protective earth/ground conductor in compliance with VDE 0293-334 color coding standards. The cable contains a high-coverage tinned copper braid shield surrounding the insulated conductors, providing exceptional electromagnetic interference (EMC) mitigation with a transfer impedance specification of maximum 250 Ω/km at 30 MHz. The total copper weight (conductor mass) is approximately 280 kilograms per kilometer, while the complete cable (including PVC insulation, outer sheath, and metallic shield) weighs approximately 393 kilograms per kilometer. This cable is designed specifically for control and signal applications in industrial automation environments where electrical noise immunity and mechanical reliability are critical performance requirements.
