OPVC-JZ-CY     PVC-insulated control cable, with Cu screen cores with imprinted numbers, flexible, with inner sheath

Applications

Copper-screened OPVC control cables are used as power, control and connection cables 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 where interference-free signal and data transmission must be assured.

These cables are ideal for medium loads for permanent installation and flexible applications for free movement, without tensile load and without forced movement. These cables are suitable for installation in dry and moist rooms, not however for outdoor or underground installation. The overall braided screen consisting of tinned copper wires provides protection against high-frequency interference and ensures an interference-free transmission.

ÖPVC-JZ-CY cables are installed in particular in the vicinity of radio and power installations.

All two-core cables are without the green-yellow protective earth conductor (OZ version). A green-yellow protective earth conductor is included in the outer layer of all cables of 3 or more cores (JZ version).

The other cores are black with sequential numbering imprinted in white, commencing with no. 1 at the centre and counting out-wards. 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 individual conductors. The imprint is repeated approximately every 20 mm (max. 50 mm according to VDE 0293) to assure visible identification even for short lengths of stripped sheath.

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 optimized by the design and construction using special PVC compounds for conductor insulation and sheath.
The inner sheath serves as additional mechanical protection and increases the robustness of the cable.

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.
Recommended for electromagnetic compatibility
