Cable BITNER YTKSY 1x2x0.5mm — 1 conductor with 2 cores 0.5 mm² (flat signal/control cable)

BITNER YTKSY 1x2x0.5mm is a flat signal and control cable with a single conductor assembly that contains two 0.5 mm² cores. It is designed for low-voltage signal transmission, control circuits and internal wiring inside devices and panels. The flat profile and compact cross-section allow neat routing in tight spaces, cable ducts and between terminal rows where a slim, flexible interconnection is required.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact, flat construction that reduces space requirements and improves organization in control panels and alarm systems. Individual 0.5 mm² cores provide sufficient cross-section for common low-voltage signal and control applications while maintaining flexibility for easy installation. The design supports consistent shielding and insulation suited to short-to-medium length signal routing within equipment and building automation systems.

Suitable for

• Low-voltage signal transmission and control wiring
• Internal wiring of control panels and junction boxes
• Alarm systems, access control and security devices
• Building automation and HVAC signal interconnections
• Routing in cable ducts, trays and between tight terminal rows

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for low-voltage signal and control use and is not suitable for carrying mains power or high-current loads. It is designed primarily for internal wiring and protected environments; it may not be appropriate for direct burial, prolonged outdoor exposure without additional protective sheathing, or harsh industrial environments where mechanical abrasion or chemical exposure is expected.

Key specifications

• Conductor arrangement: single conductor assembly with 2 cores
• Core cross-section: 0.5 mm² per core
• Cable profile: flat
• Intended use: signal/control, low-voltage wiring
• Flexibility: suitable for routing in tight spaces and ducting

How to use

Strip the outer sheath and insulation from the individual cores using appropriate cable strippers without nicking the conductors. Terminate each 0.5 mm² core in screw terminals, crimp connectors, or solder joints according to the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations and applicable wiring standards. Secure the flat cable along its routing path with compatible clips or ducts to avoid strain on terminations and to maintain a neat layout in panels and cabinets.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 0.5 mm² conductor cross-section meets current and voltage requirements for your signal/control circuits
• Verify environmental conditions (indoor use, temperature range, UV exposure) and whether additional sheathing is required
• Ensure the flat cable geometry fits the planned routing path and terminal spacing
• Check compatibility with the intended terminations (screw terminals, crimp contacts, solder points)

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, keep signal runs short where possible, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-current power lines to reduce interference, and secure the cable to prevent movement that could damage terminations. Use appropriate ferrules or crimp terminals on the 0.5 mm² cores when connecting to screw-type terminals to ensure secure and low-resistance contacts.
