YSLYCY Cable

What is YSLYCY Cable?

The YSLYCY cable is a low-voltage, unarmored and screened flexible power and control cable featuring Class 5 flexible stranded bare copper conductors, PVC insulation, an inner PVC bedding layer, an overall copper braid screen (70% coverage), and a special black PVC outer sheath complying with VDE 0482-332-1-2, EN 60881-404, and IEC/EN 60332-1-2 standards. It is designed for fixed installation and flexible moved power, process control, and instrumentation distribution up to 0.6/1 kV in heavy industrial, machinery, and outdoor environments.

Engineered to ensure uncompromised signal transmission and power delivery in electrically noisy industrial plants, the cable utilizes an optimized tinned copper braiding matrix that suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by variable speed drives and heavy switchgear. Its rugged black PVC compound formulation provides long-term resistance against industrial oils, greases, chemical exposure, and atmospheric weathering in both indoor factory halls and outdoor exposed installations.

YSLYCY Cable Construction

• Conductor: Class 5 flexible stranded bare copper conductors per IEC/EN 60228 delivering high flexibility and minimal electrical resistance.
• Insulation: High-grade Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound offering stable dielectric performance up to +70°C.
• Bedding / Inner Sheath: Extruded Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) bedding serving as a mechanical buffer and core stabilizer beneath the braid.
• Screen: Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) screen providing minimum 70% coverage for 360-degree EMC protection.
• Outer Sheath: Special oil-, chemical-, and UV-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound, flame retardant per IEC/EN 60332-1-2.
• Core Identification: Black cores with continuous white numbering + Green/Yellow protective earth conductor.
• Sheath Colour: Black.

Applications

YSLYCY 0.6/1kV cables are specifically developed for interconnecting power, automation, and instrumentation equipment where mechanical flexibility, chemical durability, and electromagnetic shielding are critical. Their robust black outer sheath makes them suitable for free-moving and fixed installations in indoor dry/damp locations and outdoor exposed environments.

Typical installation environments include:

• Industrial Automation & Process Lines: Power and control links between PLCs, measurement instruments, and variable frequency motor drives.
• CNC Machine Tools & Heavy Equipment: Interconnect cabling exposed to lubricating greases, mineral oils, and coolant splashes.
• Outdoor Power & Plant Engineering: UV-resistant fixed and flexible exterior lines across substations, conveyor gantries, and processing yards.
• Industrial Cable Trays & Racks: Medium-voltage and low-voltage distribution runs demanding high screening efficiency to eliminate cross-talk.

Specifications & Dimensions

The YSLYCY 0.6/1kV cable portfolio encompasses multi-core assemblies from 3 cores up to 25 cores, with nominal conductor cross-sections extending from 0.75mm² up to large-gauge 95mm² power variants. Operating at an engineered 0.6/1kV rating, the cable supports fixed ambient temperatures from -20°C to +70°C and moved flexible installation from -5°C to +70°C, maintaining a tight minimum bending radius of 5× OD (fixed) and 10× OD (flexed). Conductor DC resistance values span from 26 Ω/km (0.75mm²) down to 0.206 Ω/km (95mm²), with all overall diameters and cable weights strictly aligned with VDE and European harmonized manufacturing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the primary difference between YSLY and YSLYCY cables?
A: While both cables utilize flexible Class 5 conductors and PVC insulation, YSLYCY incorporates an extruded inner PVC bedding and an overall 70% coverage copper braid screen to block severe electromagnetic interference (EMC), whereas standard YSLY is unscreened.

Q: Why is the YSLYCY cable rated at 0.6/1kV rather than standard 300/500V?
A: The 0.6/1kV voltage rating provides higher dielectric insulation margins and heavy-duty sheath thickness, enabling safe deployment in higher-load industrial power circuits and outdoor secondary distribution networks.

Q: What are the minimum bending radius limits for YSLYCY cables during routing?
A: The cable requires a minimum bending radius of 5 times the overall diameter (5× OD) for fixed installations and 10 times the overall diameter (10× OD) for free-moving, flexible applications without tensile load.

Q: What payment terms does Huadong Cable accept for international industrial export orders?
A: We provide standard international commercial terms including Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) and 100% Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight for overseas engineering and OEM projects.
