From Lapp, this Unitronic LifYY Cable is designed for sensor and actuator cabling with M8 and M12 connectors. It features compact dimensions and outer diameter, and so is ideal when space saving is a concern.

The Unitronic sensor cable has a conductor of super-fine bare copper strands in accordance with DIN VDE 0295 Class 6, and has a PVC sheath that is UV resistant and designed to be easily stripped. For LifYY applications, this flexible cable is a dependable choice.

Features and Benefits

• Easy stripping and processing
• Compact design
• PVC core insulation
• Operating temperature in fixed installation: -40°C to +80°C
• Operating temperature with flexing: -5°C to +80°C

Applications

Lapp Unitronic signal transmission cables for use with industrial M8, M12 threaded connectors to connect with sensors, actuators, and distributed I/O. They are typically used in;

• Automation technology
• Sensor and measurement
• Actuator cabling

Use this flexible cable from LAPP to link sensors and actuators to control units in industrial systems. This unit has four conductive copper cores that deliver a reliable connection. Its outer sheath is made of PVC, which provides resistance to impact and abrasion and supports long-term performance. This material also serves as insulation for the cable conductors, so you're in safe hands and effectively protected from electric shocks. As it's unterminated at both ends, you can add either M8 or M12 connectors to suit your needs.

• Broad operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C for use in demanding environments
• Compact outer diameter of 4.8mm for space efficiency in tight enclosures
• Minimum bend radius of 10 times the cable diameter for flexible installation around corners
• Cable length of 50m means you get an ample supply for multiple jobs

• Robotics and automation
• Process and packaging industry
• Automotive equipment

In simple terms, a YY cable has an outer sheath and insulation made of PVC. It's best suited to light-duty use where mechanical stress is minimal.
