VDE Standard Control Cable
CY PVC/PVC /TCWB/ PVC Control Cable
Application:
For use as a measuring, control and signal cable for the machine tool industry, plant construction, heating and
air conditioning etc, and are particularly suitable between fixed and mobile equipment. The cable is well
protected against electrical interference by the narrow weave tinned copper-wire braid screen, which ensures
the undisturbed transmission of pulses and signals in electronic fields.
* Note: should not be used in any installations where the cable is subjected to repetitive flexing.
Standards: Generally BS6500 VDE0250
Conductor: Class 5 annealed copper conductors to BS6360 / VDE0295
Insulation: PVC
Bedding: PVC
Braiding: Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB)
Sheath: PVC (Type TM2 to BS7655)
Voltage Rating: 300/500V
Temperature rating:
Flexing -15 to +70°C
Static -35 to +70°C
Minimum bending radius: 6 x overall diameter
Core identification: Black with White numbers. (3 core and above to include Green/Yellow)
Coloured cores available on request

The above ratings are based on cable in Free air, in an ambient air temperature of 30°C.
For ambient air temperatures other than 30°C the following rating factors should be applied:
Ratings for cables up to and including 4mm2 are based on 60°C conductor operating temperature with 6mm2
and above based on 70°C operating temperature.
