What is CY PVC (YSLCY) Cable?
The CY PVC (YSLCY) cable is a low-voltage, screened and unarmored flexible multi-core control and instrumentation cable featuring Class 5 flexible stranded plain copper conductors, PVC core insulation, a PET separator tape, an overall tinned copper wire braid (TCWB) screen, and a grey PVC outer sheath complying with VDE 0207-363-3, VDE 819-102 (TM54), and IEC/EN 60332-1-2 standards. It is designed for fixed wiring and free-moving flexible signal, control, and power distribution up to 300/500V in tooling machinery production lines, measuring units, and automated industrial plants without tensile load.
Engineered to ensure interference-free signal transmission across electrically noisy factory environments, the cable utilizes finely stranded copper cores wrapped within a protective PET tape layer and an overall tinned copper wire braid shield. This high-coverage EMC screening barrier intercepts high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by neighboring variable speed drives, switches, and heavy motors, preventing signal distortion while maintaining mechanical flexibility in indoor dry, moist, and wet rooms.
CY PVC (YSLCY) Cable Construction
- Conductor: Class 5 flexible stranded plain bare copper conductors per IEC/EN 60228 delivering superior conductivity and dynamic flex endurance.
- Insulation: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound engineered for dependable dielectric strength and thermal endurance up to +80°C.
- Bedding / Separator: Polyester Tape (PET) separator applied over the assembled cores to ensure smooth core movement and structural cohesion.
- Screen / Armour: Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) providing a high-coverage 360-degree electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield against external interference pulses.
- Outer Sheath: Specially formulated industrial-grade Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound type TM54, flame retardant per IEC/EN 60332-1-2.
- Core Identification: 2 cores: Black with White numbers; 3 cores and above: Black with White numbers + Green/Yellow protective earth conductor (colour-coded cores available upon request).
- Sheath Colour: Grey.
Applications
CY PVC (YSLCY) cables are specifically designed for connecting control desks, measurement equipment, automated machinery, and production conveyors where electromagnetic screening and high physical flexibility are required. Their durable PVC construction ensures long-term operational performance in indoor dry, moist, and wet environments under free mechanical movement without tensile stress.
Typical installation environments include:
- Tooling Machinery & Production Lines: Flexible interconnection of CNC milling centers, packaging lines, and robotic cells exposed to electrical noise.
- Industrial Control Panels & Switchgear: High-density cabinet wiring, relay modules, and PLC distribution units demanding compact bending radii and EMC suppression.
- Conveyor & Material Handling Systems: Flexible multi-core control wiring for assembly stations and sorting tracks.
- Measuring & Regulation Equipment: Transmitting sensitive analog and digital signals in industrial processing halls, excluding outdoor and direct underground installations.
Specifications & Dimensions
The CY PVC (YSLCY) cable portfolio encompasses multi-core configurations from 2 cores up to 25 cores (with 4-core and 5-core layouts extending up to 35mm²), across conductor cross-sections ranging from 0.5mm² to 35mm² supporting continuous current loading up to 135A at 30°C. Operating at a rated voltage of 300/500V, the cable supports fixed ambient temperatures from -40°C to +80°C and flexed moved applications from -5°C to +70°C, maintaining a minimum bending radius of 6× overall diameter for fixed installations and 15× overall diameter for flexible applications. Conductor DC resistance values span from 39 Ω/km (0.5mm²) down to 0.554 Ω/km (35mm²), with all core insulation thicknesses, outer sheath dimensions (from 5.4mm up to 28.0mm), and nominal cable weights strictly manufactured in accordance with VDE 0207-363-3 and European harmonized tolerances.
