Application fit

Is LiYCY (TP) right for your machine?

LiYCY (TP) combines balanced twisted-pair geometry for internal near-end crosstalk (NEXT) cancellation with an overall tinned-copper braid screen for differential encoders, strain-gauge bridges, 4–20 mA loops and industrial serial telemetry.

Fixed installation

Suitable

Differential encoder channels (A/Ā, B/B̄, Z/Z̄), strain-gauge load cells and multi-pair analog instrumentation.

VFD inverter to AC motor screened feeder

Suitable

Twisted pairs reject common-mode magnetic coupling while the ≥80 % tinned-Cu braid shunts high-frequency VFD noise.

Trailing & towing

With conditions

Suitable for light, tension-free movement between instruments and racks.

Use Li2YCY (TP) PE

Energy chain / drag chain

Not suitable

For high-baudrate RS-485/RS-422 bus runs requiring ≤55 nF/km capacitance, select PE-insulated Li2YCY (TP).

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

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

Why does LiYCY (TP) twist cores into pairs in addition to the overall copper braid?

An overall tinned-copper braid shields the entire cable bundle against external electromagnetic fields, but cannot stop capacitive or inductive coupling between cores inside the same jacket. Twisting each differential signal and return wire into a balanced pair (TP) ensures equal and opposite induced voltages, achieving ≥ 50 dB near-end crosstalk attenuation.

How are pairs colour-coded in LiYCY (TP) under DIN 47100?

Pairs follow the sequential DIN 47100 colour table: Pair 1 = white + brown, Pair 2 = green + yellow, Pair 3 = grey + pink, Pair 4 = blue + red, Pair 5 = black + violet, Pair 6 = grey-pink + red-blue, and so on.

When should I upgrade from LiYCY (TP) to Li2YCY (TP)?

LiYCY (TP) uses PVC core insulation with a mutual capacitance of ~120 nF/km, which is ideal for analog 4–20 mA, load cells, encoders and short serial links. For long RS-422/RS-485 bus runs or high-baudrate digital transmission requiring ≤ 55 nF/km capacitance and ~100–120 Ω characteristic impedance, specify PE-insulated Li2YCY (TP).

Does LiYCY (TP) have individual pair screens or an overall screen?

LiYCY (TP) has twisted pairs under a single overall tinned-copper braid screen. If you require individual metallic screens around each pair to isolate completely incompatible signal levels, see JE-LiYCY or MPY-S/MPYCY-S.
