 EUROCLASS – AN EXPLANATION
Cables, glands & connectors from a
CPR – The Construction Products Regulation leading global manufacturer
Since 1st July 2017 the CPR covers all construction cables to be used
in fixed installations, sold in the E.U.

Effected products are tested, given a Euroclass rating in accordance

with its ‘Reaction to fire’, a declaration of performance is issued
(DOP) and a new CE mark is given on the packaging.

Note: Fire resistant cables are excluded from CPR until the product
standard for ‘Resistance to Fire’ is issued.

HARMONISED REFERENCES
The Harmonised reference system, commonly known as HAR, indicates products which conform to
a European Harmonisation Standard as set out by CENELEC, the leading European standardisation
organisation. CENELEC is technologically neutral and aims to improve standards and quality
across Europe, allowing the trade of common standard product.

HAR cables have a designation code system conforming to the norms set out in harmonisation documents
HD 361 and DIN VDE 0292.

WIRE SIZING – AWG AND CSA

AWG - American Wire Gauge. A widely accepted measure of
CSA
cross sectional area of a wire denoted as a simple number. AWG (mm²)

CSA - The surface Cross-Sectional Area of a conductor in mm². 0 53.5

5 16.76
Both units of measure are used in determining wire thickness
7 10.55
and it is useful to remember that as AWG increases, the wire
becomes thinner and the CSA decreases. 10 5.26

12 3.31
An approximate conversion between AWG and CSA is shown
opposite for selected sizes. 15 1.65

18 0.82
The complete AWG range for wire contains over 40 sizes

with respective cross sectional areas and current carrying
capacities. 25 0.16

ELECTRICAL SCREENING Twisted pair (TP) screening
Cable screening is important in many wiring applications. Screening protects a
conductor from external interference or EMI, prevents radiation from the cable itself and
UTP
helps minimise cross-talk between conductors.
Unshielded
Various degrees of screening are used according to the cable type and application.
From unshielded power or control cable used in areas not prone to interference, e.g.
within a metal control cabinet, to foil or braid shielded cable for areas of high EMI or
electrical interference. FTP

CONDUCTOR TYPES

Solid core wire

Solid core wire consists of one single core, usually copper,
forming a conductor and insulated. It has a higher
Braided resistance to flexing than stranded wire so is best suited to
permanent and semi-permanent wiring. Solid core cable
costs less to manufacture than stranded core and has a
lower electrical resistance.

Stranded core wire

For a given gauge, stranded wire withstands flexing more
than its solid core equivalent. Stranded wire is best suited
where frequent flexing or vibration is more likely to occur,
Foiled, braided e.g. automotive applications, signal wiring in electrical
and electronic devices, flexible power cables etc. With a
higher attenuation than solid core it is not best suited to
long cable runs.

Harmonised
Compliant to European Harmonised Standards H05V-K and H07V-K, harmonised cables are colour-coded PVC
sheathed cables with a single stranded untinned copper core.
Harmonised cable is widely used in lighting, wiring installation work within control and distribution panels, in
conduits, channels, and buried in walls and plaster.
First introduced in 2004, the harmonised colour code clearly differentiates between conductors in single and
three phase circuits.

UL Standard
UL Standard cables meet the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) testing classification. They consist of a category of
wire and cable that have been independently tested to conform to the specifications for use in many applications
including general purpose wiring circuits, control circuits and internal appliance wiring.
UL Standard cables have single stranded cores, are supplied in various single colours, with three sheath
constructions. A wide range of cables/wires meet UL standards and it is UL’s evaluation of the product that
determines its area of use.

 2 CONTROL CABLE

Tri-Rated
Tri-Rated cable is sought-after globally as the certification allows its use around the world.
The triple rating of BS6231 (UK), CSA TEW (Canada) and UL style 1015, 1028 or 1283 (America) makes it acceptable
across many markets, for applications including high voltage wiring within electrical cabinets, switchgear wiring,
rectifier equipment and motor starter circuitry.
Tri-Rated is a flexible, single stranded cable with a high temperature rating and flame retardant PVC sheath. Various
colours are available as recognised under the European Harmonised designation codes H05V2-K and H07V2-K.

 2 CONTROL CABLE

CY
CY cables are screened flexible cables typically used in applications requiring interference-free transmission. They have
a multi-core flex, tinned copper wire braid and polyethylene terephthalate separator, which protects it from external
electromagnetic influences. CY is suitable for flexible use when temporarily moved without tensile stress, can be used
outdoors when protected from UV radiation and in dry or moist conditions indoors, including oil-water mixtures.
Available in 3, 4, 5, and 7-core types with colour-coded individual cores, in accordance with the European Harmonised
designation. Belden Machflex CY cable is manufactured in accordance with VDE 2050 standard.

SY
As an armoured flexible control cable, SY cable derives its strength and durability from a galvanised steel wire braid.
Stronger than CY and YY, SY cable is widely used in industrial applications and can be used in installations where
free movement is required without tensile stresses.
Suitable for internal dry, damp or wet environments - including oil-water mixtures - they are not suitable for outdoor
applications. Our range is available in 2 to 25-cores with harmonised core colours of stranded copper.

WHAT ARE CHAINFLEX® CABLES?

chainflex® cables are designed for moving applications in energy chains or for
robot applications, fail-safe with 36-month guarantee.
chainflex® cables meet the requirements for EMC safety as well as other standards
and guidelines such as UL, CSA, VDE, EAC, CTP, Interbus and Profibus. Different
jacket materials are available. The product range includes everything from control
cables, servo cables, motor cables and robot cables to bus cables, data cables,
encoder cables and fibre optic cables. chainflex® cables for energy chains work
flawlessly over long periods of time even with heavy duty cycles, high speeds and
accelerations as well as extreme ambient conditions.

TESTED

In the igus test laboratory, an average of 650 series of tests at a time have been carried
out for the past 25 years under the most difficult operating conditions. These results
are continuously incorporated into product development and the online service life
calculator. This allows igus to give customers total confidence and is also the only
manufacturer to offer a guarantee of 36 months or over 10 million strokes.

SPECIAL CABLES FOR E-CHAINS®

As an expert in energy chain systems, igus® supplies all components from a single
source - including the cables. The design principle of the chainflex® cables helps
to avoid problems such as “corkscrews” and conductor breaks in cables in moving
applications, all this prevents machine downtime. In contrast to other “chain-
friendly” cables with braiding in layers, igus® manufactures chainflex® cables
according to the principle of braiding in bundles. The material and manufacture
of shield and jacket of chainflex® cables are also specifically designed for use
in energy chain applications. Since 1989, this has proven itself millions of times in
practice around the world.
No contradiction: good cables cost less
Fast availability throughout the world is a significant purchase factor. The chainflex
cable range is available from stock. This saves time, money, storage capacity and
applies to each one cable type which can be ordered without a minimum quantity.

LAN
LAN cables, otherwise known as Cat or ethernet, are twisted pair cables used for carrying signals in
structured computer networking systems.
Used also for telephone and video applications, the twisting of the pairs reduces crosstalk between
conductors, as does the level of shielding and braiding.
Different applications are catered for by the various sheath materials, including low smoke types.
