From Lapp, the Olflex® EB CY is a PVC control cable for use in intrinsically safe circuits. It features a copper braid screen that protects against electrical interference, meaning it can be used in EMC sensitive environments. This cable protects signal transmission within intrinsically safe circuits from electromagnetic interference.

The Olflex cable is very flexible, with smaller diameters that make it ideal for space-saving applications. It is also weather resistant, meaning it is suitable for use outdoors.

Features and Benefits

• UV and Weather Resistant
• Flame-retardant
• High degree of screening with low transfer impedance
• Chemical resistance
• Operating temperature in a fixed installation: -40°C to +80°C
• Operating temperature with occasional flexing: -5°C to +70°C

Applications

With its suitability for EMC environments and robust, flexible nature, this Olflex cable is often used in signalling and industrial applications. It is designed for use with intrinsically safe circuits with 'i' type protection, and so can be used where explosion by the accidental ignition of flammable gases or dust is a concern.

Accessories

Olflex cables should be used alongside accessories that match their capabilities, such as Lapp's range of ATEX approved cable glands.

• 199-563 is an M12 ATEX Approved Skintop Cable Gland
• 199-579 is an M16 ATEX Approved Skintop Cable Gland
• 199-585 is an M20 ATEX Approved Skintop Cable Gland
• 199-664 is an M25 ATEX Approved Skintop Cable Gland

For a reliable link between your sensors and industrial equipment, choose this control cable from LAPP. As it's a CY cable, it comes with a tinned copper wire braid to protect against electromagnetic interference and support clean signal transmission. A 3-core design means the cable can transmit 3 signals at the same time, which simplifies your cabling. Thanks to a wide operating temperature range between -40°C and +80°C, you can use it safely in demanding environments.

• Copper conductors provide a stable connection
• Minimum bending radius of 20 times the cable diameter for flexibility
• Core-to-core capacitance of 135nF/km for high-integrity signals
• 500V rated voltage to suit low-voltage applications

• Machine tools
• HVAC systems
• Production lines

This cable has a PVC insulating sheath that withstands abrasion and chemicals, as well as preventing electric shocks.
