Description of LiYCY cable
The LiYCY cable is a CE certified industrial shielded cable, designed for environments with high electromagnetic interference. It incorporates an oxygen-free copper conductor and double tinned copper shielding (individual shielding + overall shielding) for effective protection against disturbances. Ideal for high-precision data transmission in industrial equipment and measuring instruments, it offers a small outer diameter as well as resistance to oils and chemicals. With a temperature range of -5°C to +70°C, it provides a reliable solution for dry and humid indoor environments.
