YSLY-JZ
PVC flexible control cable, 300/500 V
YSLY-JZ (also known as YY) is the unscreened, flexible PVC control cable for 300/500 V: fine-stranded class 5 copper cores, numbered cores with a green/yellow earth from 3 cores up. The workhorse for wiring between switchboard, machine and control where there is no interference. We supply it to order, with the lead time stated in the quote.
YSLY-JZ (also known as YY) is a flexible multicore control cable with class 5 plain copper conductors, PVC-insulated cores and a grey PVC outer sheath, rated 300/500 V. It is used for the interconnection of control and measuring equipment in machine tools, assembly lines and control-panel wiring, where flexibility and mechanical protection are required. Where low-smoke zero-halogen performance is needed, an LSZH variant should be specified instead.
Also known as: YY · YSLY-JB · control cable
Applications
- Wiring of control and measuring circuits in machine tools and assembly lines.
- Connections inside and between switchboards in a clean, interference-free environment.
- Fixed installation and occasional free movement without tensile load, indoors.
What to look out for
- No screen: if the cable runs past drives or motors, choose YSLYCY-JZ instead.
- Class 5 cores: use ferrules for a reliable terminal connection.
- CPR class Eca. Where the cable is installed permanently in a building and exposed to indoor air, the Bbl requires at least Dca; choose YY-LSZH (Dca) there. The wiring inside a control panel or machine is not covered by that requirement, but the cables running to it are.

YSLY-JZ or YY-LSZH?
YSLY-JZ
- PVC insulation and sheath
YY-LSZH
- halogen-free
The construction is the same: fine-stranded class 5 cores, black and numbered, with a green/yellow core from three cores up, for 300/500 V. YSLY-JZ has PVC insulation and a PVC sheath. YY-LSZH is halogen-free and gives little smoke and no corrosive gases in a fire. Choose YY-LSZH in public buildings and data centres where that is specified, and YSLY-JZ in machine building and switchboards without that requirement.

YSLY-JZ
- no steel wire braid
- thinner and more flexible
YSLYSY-JZ
- galvanised steel wire braid
- thicker and stiffer
YSLYSY-JZ has the same kind of numbered cores as YSLY-JZ, but surrounded by a PVC inner sheath, a galvanised steel wire braid and a transparent outer sheath. The braid protects against knocks and pinching, and the clear sheath lets you see damage or corrosion on the braid. That makes YSLYSY-JZ thicker and stiffer. Choose YSLY-JZ in cabinets and trays, and YSLYSY-JZ where there is a risk of mechanical damage.
