FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What does the 'C' in CY / YSLCY signify?
In German VDE and European control cable nomenclature, 'C' denotes a concentric tinned-copper wire braid screen (Kupfergeflecht) applied over the laid-up core bundle. With ≥ 80–85 % optical coverage, it provides low high-frequency transfer impedance to shield sensitive control and encoder signals against electromagnetic interference.
How does CY / YSLCY differ from LiYCY?
CY / YSLCY is a 300/500 V industrial control and power-interconnection cable (typically 0.5 mm² to 35 mm²) with numbered black cores (+ GN/YE) per EN 50334. LiYCY is a low-voltage electronic signal cable (0.14 mm² to 1.5 mm²) built to DIN VDE 0812 with DIN 47100 colour-coded cores.
How does CY differ from H05VVC4V5-K?
CY / YSLCY uses a single-sheath construction with a PET separator tape under the copper braid and standard TM2 PVC jacket. H05VVC4V5-K is the harmonised EN 50525-2-51 dual-sheath cable featuring an extruded inner PVC sheath, tinned-copper braid ('C4') and an EN 60811-404 oil-resistant TM5 outer sheath ('V5') for aggressive cutting fluids.
How should the copper braid screen on CY cable be earthed?
For effective high-frequency EMI attenuation (from kHz inverter switching harmonics up to MHz radio noise), terminate the tinned-copper braid across 360° inside a metallic EMC cable gland or earth clamp bar at the cabinet entry rather than twisting it into a long pigtail.
