Application fit

Is LiYCY right for your machine?

LiYCY is the industry-standard EMC-shielded multicore signal cable for analog 4–20 mA / 0–10 V transducers, encoders, load cells, RS-232 serial links and PLC I/O routed alongside power and motor circuits.

Fixed installation

Suitable

EMC-protected sensor, encoder, scale and PLC analog/digital I/O wiring in cabinets and machine frames.

VFD inverter to AC motor screened feeder

Suitable

High-coverage tinned-copper braid screen suppresses capacitive and inductive interference near VFD drives.

Trailing & towing

With conditions

Suitable for occasional free-hanging movement without tensile load.

Use JZ-602-C-PUR

Energy chain / drag chain

Not suitable

For differential pair signals with crosstalk immunity, select twisted-pair LiYCY (TP).

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

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

What does the 'C' in LiYCY stand for?
In DIN VDE 0812 nomenclature, 'C' stands for 'Kupferschirmgeflecht' — an overall tinned-copper wire braid screen (≥ 80 % optical coverage) applied over a polyester separating tape between the DIN 47100 PVC cores and the outer PVC sheath.
When should I choose LiYCY (TP) or Li2YCY (TP) over standard LiYCY?
Standard LiYCY has cores stranded in concentric layers, which is ideal for single-ended 0–10 V / 4–20 mA and digital I/O signals. When transmitting differential signals (RS-422, RS-485, incremental encoder A/Ā B/B̄ or bridge load cells), choose LiYCY (TP) with twisted pairs to cancel near-end crosstalk, or Li2YCY (TP) with low-capacitance PE insulation for long serial bus runs.
How should the LiYCY copper braid screen be terminated?
For high-frequency EMC immunity, clamp the exposed tinned-copper braid 360° inside a metallic EMC cable gland or conductive shield busbar at the cabinet entry rather than twisting it into a long pigtail.
Is there a halogen-free version of LiYCY?
Yes. LiHCH uses the same fine-stranded copper conductors, DIN 47100 colour code and tinned-copper braid screen as LiYCY, but replaces all PVC layers with low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) polyolefin compounds.
