LAPP Control Cable, 5 Cores, 4 mm² Cross Sectional Area - 38101366


This control cable is designed for versatility in medium mechanical use. With a length of 50m and a 4 mm² cross-sectional area, it features a transparent PVC sheath ensuring durability and visibility for connections. The cable is equipped with five cores that provide efficient conductivity and flexibility for various applications.

Features & Benefits


• Screened design provides enhanced protection against interference
• Flame retardant characteristics ensure compliance with safety standards
• Capable of operating in temperatures from -40°C to +80°C
• Mechanical protection provided by galvanised steel wire braid

Applications


• Utilised in controlling machine tools and production lines
• Suitable for use in damp and wet environments
• Ideal for supply and interconnecting cables in automation systems
• Effective in measuring and regulating equipment

What materials are used in its construction and how do they enhance performance?


The cable comprises copper conductors for superior conductivity and a PVC insulation layer for effective protection against environmental factors. The outer transparent PVC sheath allows visibility, while the galvanised steel braid offers mechanical strength.

What is the significance of the cable's bending radius?


The minimum bending radius is critical to maintain the cable’s integrity. For fixed installations, the radius should be six times the cable diameter, and for occasional flexing, it should be twenty times.

How does the flame retardant feature affect safety?


Flame retardant properties help prevent the spread of fire, ensuring safer conditions in environments where electrical cables are installed, thus adhering to safety regulations.

What are the voltage and current ratings for usage with this cable?


It is rated for a nominal voltage of 300/500 V and can handle a current rating of up to 34A, making it suitable for various electrical applications.


Type SY

Note

SY control cables are not suitable for fixed wiring applications requiring compliance with the requirements set out in BS7671.
