Lapp ÖLFLEX ® cables
"Ölflex" is a well-known brand for connection and control cables. LAPP introduced this name in 1957 for the first industrially manufactured cables for mechanical and plant engineering.

ÖLFLEX® connecting cables
In order for a machine, a motor or a robot to be able to execute a certain function in industrial production, it needs an energy supply. This task is performed by the connecting cable. For example the ÖLFLEX® Classic 110, the ÖLFLEX® Robust 200 or the ÖLFLEX® Heat 180.
ÖLFLEX® control cables
High frequency Unlike for connecting cables, the highest possible output is not the most important thing for control cables. In order to transmit different messages, signals or impulses, the frequency must be particularly high. The goal is to change an operating state: a motor runs faster or a belt is supposed to stop. The ÖLFLEX® control cable from Lapp is designed as a PVC control cable for flexible applications without restricted guidance and without strain relief. It is used in plant engineering, in mechanical engineering, in heating and air-conditioning technology, in power plant technology and in event technology:
- for permanent installation
- with occasional flexing without tensile stress
- with free, not continuously recurring movement
- in dry and moisture-prone rooms, with normal mechanical stress

ÖLFLEX Classic 110 Black
The Ölflex Classic 110 Black is a versatile connection and control cable. It can be clearly distinguished from the Ölflex Classic 100 and Ölflex Classic 110 types not only visually by its black sheath. A key feature of the Ölflex Classic 110 Black is its good suitability for outdoor use.

ÖLFLEX Classic 115
The Ölflex Classic 115 CY with shielding has a smaller outer diameter than other standard shielded cables of a similar design. This is because this shielded Ölflex cable does not have an inner sheath. This is because the inner sheath is easily dispensable for a permanently installed shielded cable.

ÖLFLEX Classic 100
In contrast to the similar Ölflex Classic 110 cable, the cores of the Lapp Ölflex Classic 110 are identified by colours and not by numbers.

ÖLFLEX Classic 110
The Ölflex Classic 110 cable is one of the most frequently used connection and control cables. Thanks to its many favourable properties, this VDE-registered cable is suitable for a wide range of applications. It can be used for rated voltages up to 300/500 V.
