FAQs

What does 'halogen-free' mean for this wire?

Halogen-free means the wire's insulation and jacket do not contain halogens (like chlorine or bromine). In the event of a fire, this significantly reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases, improving safety for people and equipment.

Can this wire be used outdoors?

This wire is primarily intended for dry room applications. For outdoor use or in wet environments, it must be adequately protected, for example, by running it within conduit or using a suitable, environmentally rated cable gland.

What is the maximum voltage this wire can handle?

The LAPP 4160401 has a voltage rating of 600V. Ensure your application's voltage does not exceed this limit.

How do I prevent dust and moisture from entering the cable termination?

It is recommended to use a compatible cable gland system, such as the LAPP SKINTOP series, to create a sealed entry point for the cable into enclosures and equipment.

What is the bend radius for this wire?

For fixed installations, the minimum bend radius is 6.8mm. Care should be taken to avoid exceeding this radius during installation to prevent damage to the conductor.

What applications is this wire best suited for?

This wire is ideal for control systems, industrial automation, internal wiring of switchboards and distribution panels, and in transportation systems where fire safety is a concern.

What is the material of the conductor?

The conductor is made of tinned copper, which provides excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Wire is not conducting electricity.

Check all connections for proper seating and continuity. Ensure the conductor is fully stripped and making good contact with the terminal. Verify the voltage rating of the wire is not exceeded and that the power source is active.

Poor performance in extreme temperatures.

Confirm the ambient temperature is within the specified operating range of -40°C to +105°C. If operating outside this range, consider a wire with a wider temperature tolerance.

Cable jacket appears damaged.

Inspect the cable for cuts or abrasions. If damage is significant or compromises insulation, the affected section should be replaced. Ensure proper handling during installation to prevent future damage.

Difficulty bending the wire.

While the wire is flexible, it has a minimum bend radius of 6.8mm for fixed installations. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the wire, which can damage the internal conductor. Gently work the wire into the desired shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety due to halogen-free and flame-retardant properties.
  • Durable construction with corrosion-resistant tinned copper.
  • Suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.
  • Versatile for numerous control and automation applications.
  • Cost-effective with a generous 100m length on a reel.

Cons

  • Requires specific accessories like cable glands for optimal protection against debris and moisture.
  • Bend radius needs careful management to avoid damage, especially in fixed installations.
  • Primarily intended for dry rooms and specific building/transportation system applications, not outdoor or wet environments without protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a single-core hook-up wire. Ensure proper stripping of the PVC insulation before making connections. Use appropriate crimping or termination tools for secure electrical contact. The wire is supplied on a 100m reel, allowing for easy dispensing during installation.

Compatibility: The LAPP 4160401 is designed for use in dry rooms, for cabling lighting, equipment, switchboard, and distribution panels. It is suitable for use in buildings with large numbers of people or material assets, and in transportation systems. For enhanced protection against dust and moisture ingress, it is recommended to use with compatible cable glands, such as the LAPP SKINTOP series (e.g., part number 243-8873).

Care: Keep the wire in its original packaging until ready for use to prevent contamination. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. After installation, regular visual inspection is recommended to check for any signs of physical damage. Clean the exterior of the cable with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary; avoid harsh solvents.
