What is LiYY Cable?
The LiYY cable is a low-voltage, unarmored and unscreened flexible multi-core signal and control cable featuring Class 5 fine-stranded bare copper conductors, PVC insulation, and a durable grey PVC outer sheath complying with DIN VDE 0812 and IEC 60332-1 standards. It is designed for fixed wiring and moved flexible signal transmission up to 250/250V between electronic devices, computers, and automated process control units.
Engineered for lightweight, unshielded interconnectivity in compact electronic enclosures, the cable utilizes an ultra-flexible fine-stranded copper bunching profile paired with smooth PVC extrusion. This geometry minimizes the overall cable diameter and total drag weight while providing dependable core flexibility, clean stripping, and flame-retardant safety in dry and damp industrial control environments.
LiYY Cable Construction
- Conductor: Class 5 fine-stranded bare copper conductors per IEC/EN 60228 delivering high flexibility and superior conductivity.
- Insulation: High-grade Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound engineered for low-loss dielectric performance up to +80°C.
- Bedding / Inner Layer: Compact multi-core bunching assembly optimized for smooth routing and easy jacket removal.
- Screen / Armour: Unscreened / Non-armored configuration designed for minimum outer diameter and high flexibility.
- Outer Sheath: Specially formulated industrial-grade Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound, flame retardant per IEC 60332-1.
- Core Identification: Color-coded cores conforming to DIN 47100 standards (Core 1: White, Core 2: Brown, Core 3: Green, Core 4: Yellow, Core 5: Grey, Core 6: Pink, Core 7: Blue, Core 8: Red, etc.).
- Sheath Colour: Grey.
Applications
LiYY cables are engineered for flexible signal transmission, data acquisition, and process control wiring across commercial electronics, automation panels, and measuring systems where unshielded, space-saving interconnects are required. Their robust PVC formulation ensures operational longevity in both static and free-moving setups without tensile stress.
Typical installation environments include:
- Process Control Units & Automation: Signal connections between Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), sensor networks, and relay modules.
- Computer Systems & Peripherals: Low-current data transmission, telemetry units, and office machine networking.
- Electronic Instrumentation & Measuring Devices: Interconnecting laboratory apparatus, scales, testing consoles, and diagnostic equipment.
- Control Panels & Switchgear Racks: High-density internal cabinet wiring and terminal interconnects requiring small bending radii.
Specifications & Dimensions
The LiYY cable portfolio covers multi-core configurations from 2 cores up to 24 cores, with nominal conductor cross-sectional areas spanning 0.14mm², 0.25mm², 0.34mm², 0.50mm², 0.75mm², and 1.0mm². Operating at a rated voltage of 250/250V, the cable supports fixed ambient temperatures from -30°C to +80°C and flexed installation from -5°C to +70°C, maintaining a tight minimum bending radius of 5× OD (fixed) and 7.5× OD (flexed). All conductor strand densities, overall cable diameters, and nominal weights strictly adhere to DIN VDE 0812 and European harmonized manufacturing guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the primary difference between LiYY and LiYCY cables?
A: LiYY is an unscreened (unshielded) flexible signal cable designed for minimal weight and compact dimensions, whereas LiYCY incorporates an overall Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) screen to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMC) in electrically noisy environments.
Q: What core color identification coding is utilized in LiYY cables?
A: LiYY cables use the DIN 47100 standard color code without green/yellow earth core (e.g., Core 1: White, Core 2: Brown, Core 3: Green, Core 4: Yellow, etc.), facilitating precise, error-free termination in multi-core electronic control systems.
Q: What are the minimum bending radius limits for LiYY cable during installation?
