  • Product description

    Control cable | 18x1.5 YSLY-JZ (OPVC-JZ) | 300/500 V | flexible | grey

    YSLY-JZ (OPVC-JZ) 18x1.5 is a flexible PVC control cable for control, signalling and measuring circuits. The black cores are numbered, so each core is easy to identify in a panel or machine without extra marking.

    Key idea:
    When many control circuits must run from a panel to a machine in one cable, numbered cores save time during installation and fault finding. The green-yellow core (JZ) allows protective earth to be connected.

    • Green-yellow PE core
    • Flexible, easy to lay in trunking and trays
    • Wide operating temperature range for fixed installation
    • Sold by the metre

    Cons / limitations

    • Unshielded – not for sensitive signals near frequency drives
    • Not UV resistant
    • Not for direct burial
    • PVC flexibility decreases at low temperatures

    Safety and installation notes

    • Bend and lay the cable at temperatures not lower than −5 °C.

    FAQ

    Is the cable shielded?
    No, for sensitive signals near interference sources choose a shielded cable, e.g. LIYCY.
    What does JZ mean?
    The cable has a green-yellow protective earth core.
    Can it be laid outdoors?
    Only when protected from direct sunlight – in a conduit or trunking.

    How to choose the right cable – see the special purpose cable guide.
