LIY2Y Signal Cables

The LIY2Y cable is an unshielded outdoor signal cable whose PVC-insulated stranded copper cores are covered with a polyethylene (PE) outer sheath. Because a PE sheath is more resistant to moisture and water than PVC, it is used on signal and control lines that pass through wet and damp routes, such as field devices outside buildings and garden and environmental systems. In the category, Reçber Kablo's LIY2Y family is sold by the meter in cross-sections such as 2x0.50 mm², 5x0.75 mm², 7x1 mm² and 12x1.5 mm². Choose the number of cores according to the number of signals and the cross-section according to line length and circuit current; for exposed, conduit or underground installation and for sunlight resistance, rely on the manufacturer's data. In the type code, Y denotes PVC core insulation and 2Y denotes the polyethylene outer sheath. A PE outer sheath does not make the cable halogen-free: because the core insulation is PVC, LIY2Y is not a substitute for LIHH cable on indoor lines that require halogen-free cable.

How to choose LIY2Y Signal Cables

The LIY2Y cable is an unshielded outdoor signal cable whose PVC-insulated stranded copper cores are covered with a polyethylene (PE) outer sheath. Because a PE sheath is more resistant to moisture and water than PVC, it is used on signal and control lines that pass through wet and damp routes, such as field devices outside buildings and garden and environmental systems.

  • Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
  • Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
  • Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
