LiYY Flexible Control and Instrumentation Cable

LiYY is an unscreened flexible PVC control and signal cable for weak-current applications in machinery, electronic control equipment, computer systems, office machines, instrumentation and measurement systems.

The cable uses fine-stranded bare copper conductors, PVC core insulation and a PVC outer sheath. Its DIN 47100 color coding and compact outer diameter support organized wiring in control panels and electronic equipment where a screened construction is not required.

Application boundary: LiYY is intended for control, signal and data transmission in weak-current circuits. It is not a power cable, and the published operating voltage is a peak value rather than a standard 300/500V power-cable rating.

Key Features

01

Unscreened Control Cable

LiYY provides a compact PVC control and signal cable where a separate electromagnetic screen is not required.

02

Fine-Stranded Copper

Flexible copper conductors support panel wiring, equipment connections and occasional routing movement.

03

DIN 47100 Color Coding

Core colors support organized identification in multi-core control panels and electronic equipment.

04

Compact Outer Diameter

The compact round profile helps save space in control cabinets, electronic equipment and office machines.

05

Weak-Current Applications

Designed for signal, control and data transmission rather than high-current power distribution.

06

Multi-Core Selection

Core counts and cross-sections can be selected for instrumentation, automation and equipment wiring requirements.

Construction & Standards

Construction Sequence

Fine-stranded bare copper conductors are individually insulated with PVC. The color-coded cores are laid up and covered by an extruded PVC outer sheath. LiYY has no copper braid, foil screen or drain wire; screened applications should use LiYCY or CY as appropriate.

Reference Standard

The LiYY construction is based on VDE 0812 and uses DIN 47100 core identification in the referenced UNITRONIC product data. Final conductor size, core count, sheath compound, temperature range and approval marking must follow the ordered product specification.

  • Based on VDE 0812
  • DIN 47100 core identification
  • IEC 60228-style fine-wire conductor reference
  • IEC 60332-1-2 flame performance where applicable
  • PVC insulation and PVC outer sheath
  • Not intended for power applications
Selection note: Use LiYY for unscreened weak-current control, signal and data circuits. Use LiYCY or CY when electromagnetic screening is required. Do not describe LiYY as a screened cable or as a general 300/500V power cable.

Typical Applications

Control PanelsLow-current wiring between terminals, relays, PLC I/O and control devices.
InstrumentationSignal and measurement connections where no separate screen is required.
Electronic EquipmentInternal or external connections in electronic control and regulation equipment.
Computer SystemsWeak-current control and signal connections in computer and office equipment.
Office MachinesFlexible internal wiring for scales, office machines and related devices.
Automation EquipmentControl and signal wiring in dry or damp indoor rooms with occasional flexing.
