multiconductor cable

26 Min Read
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 100 4G16 flexible industrial power cable (Article number 00101123) is exactly 20.4 millimeters (0.804 inches), with a standard tolerance of ±0.3 millimeters, producing acceptable cables measuring 20.1 to 20.7 millimeters in outer diameter. This four-conductor cable configuration consists of three active power conductors (black, brown, and grey color-coded per VDE 0293-308) plus one green-yellow dual-color protective earth/ground conductor, each having a cross-sectional area of 16 square millimeters, providing a total copper conductor mass of approximately 614 kilograms per kilometer. The complete assembled cable, including PVC insulation around each conductor, tinned copper braid shielding (in shielded variants), and the grey RAL 7001 PVC outer protective sheath, weighs approximately 1,087 kilograms per kilometer under normal atmospheric conditions. When properly coiled on a standard industrial reel, a single 100-meter length of this cable weighs approximately 108.7 kilograms, a 500-meter drum weighs approximately 544 kilograms, and a full 1-kilometer supply spool weighs approximately 1,087 kilograms—specifications essential for facility material handling planning and equipment procurement. This cable is designed specifically for industrial power distribution, flexible machinery connections, HVAC system wiring, and wind turbine generator (WTG) applications where robust electrical performance, mechanical durability, and standards compliance are non-negotiable requirements.
