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.
