The ratio of expansion is 3:1, i.e. a spiral cable with a closed length of 500 mm can be pulled out to three times its length, to 1500 mm. The drawn ends are each straight cut and 200 mm (end 1) or 600 mm (end 2) long respectively. UV resistant. This spiral cable is ideal for use wherever shielded cables with the smallest dimensions are required, e.g., as control and power cables in machines and mechanical engineering and automatic control systems. The spiral cable is able to extend up to 3 times the un-extended spiral length. The cable has been manufactured from bare copper wires with special PVC P8/1 core insulation.

Product Information
Full details
The LAPP Spiral Cable 70002732 is designed for industrial applications requiring a flexible, durable, and protected control and power cable. Its key benefit is its high restoring force, allowing it to extend up to three times its closed length while maintaining a compact profile. A potential caveat is the specific temperature range for flexing, which requires attention in extreme environments.

FAQs
What is the maximum extension ratio for this spiral cable?
The cable can be extended up to three times its closed length. For example, a 1-meter cable can be stretched to a maximum of 3 meters.
What materials is the cable insulation made from?
The core insulation is made from special PVC (P8/1), and the outer sheath is made of durable Polyurethane (PUR).
Can this cable be used outdoors?
Yes, the cable is UV resistant, making it suitable for use in environments exposed to sunlight.
What is the recommended temperature range for flexing this cable?
The cable is designed for flexing within a temperature range of 5°C to 50°C.
What are the lengths of the drawn ends?
The drawn ends are straight cut, with one end approximately 200 mm long and the other approximately 600 mm long.
Is this cable suitable for high-frequency data transmission?
This cable is designed primarily as a control and power cable. While shielded, its suitability for high-frequency data depends on specific application requirements and potential interference.
How should I clean the cable?
Clean the exterior of the cable with a damp cloth. Avoid using strong solvents that could damage the PUR sheath.
Troubleshooting
Cable does not retract fully
Check for obstructions or kinks in the spiral. Ensure the cable has not been permanently stretched beyond its 3:1 limit.
Reduced flexibility or stiffness
Verify the ambient temperature is within the recommended flexing range (5-50°C). Extreme cold or heat can affect flexibility.
Connection issues at the ends
Ensure the straight-cut ends are securely terminated. Check for any damage to the conductor insulation at the connection points.
Outer sheath damage (cuts, abrasions)
If minor, clean the area. For significant damage, the cable may need replacement to maintain protection and functionality.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Excellent flexibility due to its spiral design and high restoring force.
High resistance to chemicals, oils, and abrasion, enhancing durability.
Suitable for compact installations requiring shielded cables.
UV resistant for outdoor or sun-exposed applications.
Reliable performance with copper conductors and PVC insulation.
Cons
Flexing temperature range is limited to 5-50°C.
Specific end lengths may require adaptation in some installations.
Requires careful handling to avoid overstretching beyond its rated limit.
Primarily designed for control and power, not high-frequency data transmission without additional shielding considerations.
The 1m standard length might be too short for some extended applications, necessitating the use of longer variants.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the cable is laid out in its natural spiral form. Avoid kinks or twists.
Connect the pre-defined ends (200 mm and 600 mm) to the appropriate terminals or connectors.
Do not exceed the maximum extension ratio of 3:1 (e.g., 1 meter closed length should not be stretched beyond 3 meters).
Compatibility:
This cable is designed for use as control and power cables. Verify core size (0.75 mm²) and number of cores (12) compatibility with your equipment's power and signal requirements.
Suitable for applications within the specified temperature range of 5°C to 50°C for flexing.
Care:
Clean the cable exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the PUR sheath.
Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage, especially at the points of maximum flexure.
Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive force or abrasion beyond its designed capabilities.
