German Standard Industrial Cables
LiY / LiYv / LiYv-t

Application and Description

These PVC insulated stranded hook-up wires are employed in telecommunication systems, toys, sports equipment and general wiring equipment used in electrical engineering to meet stringent demands in terms of high and ultra-high flexibility. They are not permitted to be installed in heavy current applications outside of the equipment.
