Product Information

Full details

The LAPP 73220361 Spiral Cable is designed for users needing a flexible, durable, and reliable cable solution for electrical setups. Its key benefit is the high flexibility offered by its spiral design, coupled with resistance to UV, oil, and demanding environmental conditions. However, it is important to note that this cable is unshielded and has a nominal voltage limit of 250V, making it unsuitable for heavy current applications. This guide covers its features, performance, setup, and maintenance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum voltage this cable can handle?

The LAPP 73220361 spiral cable has a nominal voltage of 250V and a peak operating voltage of 250V. It is not intended for heavy current applications.

How much can the spiral cable extend?

The cable has a minimum spiral length of 200 mm and can extend up to a maximum of 800 mm.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the cable is UV-resistant and can be used outdoors. However, ensure it operates within its specified temperature range (-5°C to +50°C for flexible installation).

Can I use this cable in an oily environment?

Yes, the PUR coating provides oil resistance, making it suitable for environments where exposure to oils is common.

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

Halogen-free means that during combustion, the cable emits significantly less corrosive and toxic gases compared to cables containing halogens, contributing to improved safety in fire situations.

What is the core layout and cross-section?

The cable features a core layout of 6 leads, with each core having a cross-section of 0.25 mm².

What is the maximum outer diameter of the cable?

The spiral outer diameter of the cable is 20 mm.

Troubleshooting

No signal or intermittent signal

Check all terminations for secure connections. Verify continuity of each core using a multimeter. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive electromagnetic interference, as it is unshielded.

Cable does not retract fully or remains stretched

Ensure the spiral length is not exceeding its maximum extended limit (800 mm). Check for any physical obstructions or kinks preventing proper retraction. The spring-like tension may decrease over time with extreme use.

Damage to outer jacket (cuts, abrasions)

If minor, the cable might still be usable if the damage does not expose conductors. For significant damage, replacement is recommended to prevent electrical hazards and maintain performance. Avoid bending the cable tighter than its minimum spiral radius.

Cable is stiff in cold temperatures

This cable has a minimum flexible temperature of -5°C. In colder conditions, allow the cable to warm up to room temperature before flexing to prevent cracking of the insulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent flexibility for dynamic applications.
  • Durable construction with UV and oil resistance.
  • Compact spiral design minimizes space requirements and prevents tangling.
  • Suitable for various industrial and technical environments.
  • Halogen-free construction enhances safety.

Cons

  • Unshielded, making it susceptible to electromagnetic interference.
  • Limited to 250V nominal voltage, not suitable for heavy current loads.
  • Maximum flexible installation temperature of +50°C may be limiting in extreme heat.
  • Minimum flexible installation temperature of -5°C may require pre-warming in very cold conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Planning: Determine the required reach and ensure the spiral length is adequate for the application's movement.
  2. Connection: Connect the 6 cores according to your system's wiring diagram. Ensure proper termination to prevent signal loss or shorts.
  3. Strain Relief: While flexible, it's advisable to implement strain relief at termination points to prevent excessive pulling on the cable connections.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: Rated for 250V nominal voltage, suitable for low-voltage applications. Not intended for mains power supply or heavy current loads.
  • Environment: Compatible with environments exposed to UV radiation and oils.
  • Temperature: Best used within a flexible temperature range of -5°C to +50°C.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the cable with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the PUR coating.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage to the insulation, especially at points of high flex.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
  • Avoid Kinking: Do not bend the cable tighter than its minimum spiral radius to maintain its integrity and flexibility.
