Cable solutions from A to Z
Lapp produces different cables for CNC machinery, switch boxes, control cabinets and electrical assemblies. The product range stretches from single and multi-core cables through to EMC-shielded cables, all of which can be fitted with a wide selection of crimp contacts, connectors and housings.
Glass fibre assembly
An expert system partner for sophisticated glass fibre connection technology, Lapp can supply glass fibre cable harnesses in a range of standard lengths and can manufacture, test and deliver special lengths very quickly. With the range of glass fibre cables and connectors users can put together their own individual assembly according to the exact needs and requirements using carefully selected components.
