Choosing the Right ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC Black Flex Cable: 500 V, 1 kV, or Colour‑Coded?

Choosing

ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC Black Flexible Power & Control Cable

VDE-registered, UV and oil-resistant PVC control cable with a black outer sheath.

 

Industrial control and power wiring can be tricky, especially when all the cables look similar. We stock three main variations of UV‑resistant Black Flex control cable, each suited to different applications: control, power, or colour‑coded identification.

 

 

ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 Black Flex Number Coded 500 V (Control Range)

This is the control range of Black Flex cables, ideal for general industrial applications where flexibility, weather resistance, and easy core identification are key.

 

Features include:

  • Numbered cores for simple identification
  • Flexible UV‑resistant PVC outer sheath
  • Suitable for fixed installation and occasional flexing
  • Ideal for control panels, junction boxes, and machinery

(Best for: Control and small‑power wiring in dry or damp industrial environments.)

 

 

ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 Number Coded Black Flex 0.6/1 kV (Power Range)

The power range Black Flex variant is designed for higher current applications while retaining flexibility and UV resistance. These cables are suitable wherever small‑to-medium power distribution is required within machinery or industrial installations.

 

Features include:

  • Numbered cores for consistent identification
  • Flexible, UV‑resistant black sheath
  • Rated for small-power distribution, though also usable for higher voltage control if needed

(Best for: Power distribution and installations requiring higher current capacity.)

 

 

ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 100 Black Flex Colour Coded Cores

This variant uses colour‑coded cores inside the UV‑resistant Black Flex sheath. Colour coding speeds up identification and reduces installation errors, making it ideal for multi‑core or complex wiring projects.

 

Features include:

  • UV-resistant flexible black PVC sheath
  • Colour-coded cores for fast visual identification
  • Suitable for fixed installation and occasional flexing

(Best for: Installations where speed and clarity are important, control panels, machines, or complex multi-cable runs.)
