OPVC-JZ     PVC-insulated control cable, flexible cores with imprinted numbers

Applications

Flexible OPVC control cables are used as power , and connecting cables in mechanical engineering for tooling machinery, control units, production lines, transportation equipment, conveyor and assembly lines, control desks as well as in plant construction, for office machines and in heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems
These cables are suitable for installation in dry, moist and wet rooms, mot however for outdoor or underground installation.
A green-yellow protective earth conductor is included in the outer layer of all cables of 3 or more cores.
The other cores are black with sequential numbering imprinted in white, commencing with no.1 at the centre and counting outwards. The print consists of numerals repeated throughout the length of the core. Each designation consists of a line underlining this number thus designating the direction of reading and preventing confusion between the individual number designations .
The imprint repeated approximately every 20 mm ( max. 50 mm according to VDE 0293 ) to assure visible identification even for short lengths of stripped insulation.

Characteristic features

Installation and identification of individual conductors made easier by the imprint of sequential numbering.
First-class mechanical properties and high flexibility of the cable are optimised by the design and construction using special PVC compounds for conductor insulation and sheath.

Durability

The PVC sheath is largely resistant to oils (depending on the type of oil), excluding VDE 0472 part 803.
Chemical resistance for PVC refer also to the Table of Technical Guidelines.
