Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors


Cable accessories with international approval

October 2005 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

Often not looked into, South Africa caters for numerous international markets where our currency helps us to develop, manufacture and supply a range of products to be used on an international level.

Approvals for these markets influences the quality aspect, which is dictated by every market differently - foreign standards make certain demands, much like the SABS does in our market ... so who knows what is required for so many other countries around the world?

With the strong establishment on Lapp Cable in more than 65 countries worldwide, product approval is not new to the group. As seen in Figure 1, Lapp Cable's product groups have extensive international approval, which keeps the manufacturing supplier in South Africa updated with what is required to meet the demands of each and every country around the world.

Approvals are just a part of the total supply, once this has been established, and then it is down to product versus application and finding the suitable product. The Lapp Cable range is based on a full automation solution of control, data, PLC, fibre-optic, servo and all other system cables for power and connection technology. Coupled with a wide range of glands, marking systems and connectors, this results in a total package solution with the approval for a broad market.

Cable glands

Skintop cable glands guarantee quick and secure connections - the user simply threads the cable and twists. The cables are correctly centred, secured, hermetically sealed, and ready for use. Users can choose from a wide range of models in plastic or brass, for EX and EMC applications, halogen-free types or antikink protection, metric, PG or NPT.

Marking systems

Fleximark marking systems provide labels on single cores, cables, and control cabinets where there is a need for these to remain legible for years to come. From plastic to durable stainless steel, manual or electronic identification, these labels are designed to last a lifetime.

Industrial connectors

Epic industrial connectors. When we talk about secure connections, you can take us at our word. Epic industrial connectors produce an absolutely secure connection in combination with Ölflex cables. We provide the right contact for all your needs:

From rectangular or circular connectors, to housings, inserts, contacts and accessories, bus or fibre-optic cable applications.

Control cables and connectors

Ölflex connection and control cables are used with machinery, machine tools, system and appliance engineering, measuring, control, heating and airconditioning technologies. For permanent connections or in cable chains, halogen-free or internationally certified, there is a comprehensive range of standard products.

Data cables

Lapp produces a full range of data cables for fast and secure transfers of large volumes of data. Hitronic fibre-optic cables are designed for high volume data transfer that is fast, efficient, and secure. By their nature fibre-optic cables are immune to electromagnetic interference. The range includes cables for office communications, industrial applications, simplex, duplex, hybrid wiring, or cable chain applications.
