Properties - Suitable for voltages of up to 450/750V

With its various conductor cross-sections, the Ölflex Classic 100 covers a majority of the common rated voltages. With cross-sections of 0.5 mm² to 1.5 mm², the Ölflex cable is suitable for voltages of up to 300/500V. For cross-sections above 2.5 mm², 450/750V are permitted. The test voltage of the Ölflex Classic 100 reaches up to 4000V. Due to this high value, the cable provides a good level of electrical safety. The permissible bending radius depends on the type of installation and use. For a fixed cable installation, this may be 4 times the outer diameter. If there is occasional movement, the minimum bend radius is 15 times the outer diameter. 

Colour codes according to VDE and company standard

The core insulation and jackets of all Ölflex Classic 100 cables are made of PVC. The conductor itself is made of finely-stranded copper wire. The cores are twisted in layers, whereby the core stranding in a short lay lengths allows a high degree of cable flexibility. The cores of all Lapp Ölflex Classic 100 cables are colour coded. In contrast to the similar Ölflex Classic 110, the cores of the Lapp Ölflex Classic 100 are identified by colour.

For variants with up to 5 cores, Lapp uses the colours of VDE 2093-308/HD 308 S2. These cables use the standard colour code with the colours blue, brown, black and grey, and green-yellow as the protective conductor. For wires with more than 5 cores, no colour codes are defined according to this standard. Lapp fills this gap with its own colour code system. The colour code system developed by Lapp for Ölflex wires also enables the colour identification of multi-core cables. The manufacturer uses up to 12 basic colours for this system.
