In today’s scenario, where connectivity is essential for almost every economic sector, import/export companies and stockists of electrical and optical cables, connectors, and accessories play a crucial role in ensuring reliable communication and power systems. This article will cover the benefits and importance of high-quality connectors and accessories for electrical and optical cables provided by Lapp Policabos, a specialized company offering advanced technical solutions in cable installations. Connectors and Accessories: The Smart Choice for Cable Installations Cable installations are fundamental to properly functioning electrical networks, telecommunications, and data infrastructures. Connectors and accessories are vital to these installations, ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient connections between cables, equipment, and devices. Quality and durability Quality is essential when it comes to connectors and accessories for electrical and optical cables. Poor quality components can result in unstable connections, signal loss, and system failures, leading to power supply interruptions or communication. At Lapp Policabos, we […]

In the smart factory, machines and systems are increasingly networked. As a result, the topic of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is also becoming increasingly important. Especially in industrial plants where frequency converter-controlled motors are used, undesirable currents can increasingly occur on the equipotential bonding (PA) or protective earth (PE) cables. A new, innovative cable design from LAPP reliably reduces leakage currents and makes a decisive contribution to improved EMC in machines and systems. Stripped ÖLFLEX® SERVO FD zeroCM Nowadays, electric motors in process automation are operated exclusively by means of frequency converters. In addition to the advantage of variable speed, this type of control offers considerable improvements in terms of energy and process efficiency. However, due to the principle of control, undesirable side effects occur and leakage currents are generated. The more components are involved, the greater the risk of such disturbances. At the same time, the installation spaces in machines […]
Railways are the cornerstone of many countries and play a key role in competitive ability, transporting goods to seaports and other distribution centers. The resilience of many countries depends on a multimodal transport system that effectively connects businesses to consumers, suppliers, markets and the global economy. The rail market consists of three main segments: Rolling Stock, Systems Technology and Infrastructure. Within these three segments, LAPP focuses on the Rolling Stock segment and part of Systems Technology focuses on trains. When dealing with passenger and freight transport, the main characteristics of the Rolling Stock business are high fire safety requirements to protect people and property. All products used on trains in Europe must comply with the EN 45545-2 standard. In other regions of the world, other standards are required, such as GOST, NFPA 130 or CCC. In order to standardize cables for rolling stock applications, cable standards have been developed, according […]
Compact monitoring device for data cables Until now, there were only two options for maintaining machine and plant parts: either parts were replaced if they were already defective, or parts that still worked were replaced at specific intervals as a precaution. However, thanks to Industry 4.0 and digitalization, there is a more efficient alternative to reactive maintenance: preventive maintenance. The idea behind this is to carry out maintenance measures depending on actual performance. Which is also possible for connection systems, such as cables or connectors. Although LAPP cables last for many years, in situations with highly dynamic movements at high speeds and strong torsion, it is advantageous and more cost-effective to monitor cables to avoid unexpected stops that impair productivity. ETHERLINE® GUARD is the latest innovative solution from LAPP This compact device monitors the performance of ethernet cables and, when there is a risk of failure, displays what the fault […]

ETHERLINE® GUARD Until now, there were two alternatives for the maintenance of machine components in the industry: Maintenance is carried out when there is a breakdown or maintenance is carried out only at scheduled intervals as a preventive measure. However, due to digitalisation and Industry 4.0, predictive maintenance is more efficient than reactive or preventive maintenance. The idea will be to maintain the systems depending on the performance status of the components. Predictive maintenance is also possible be applied to cables and connectors. Although LAPP cables last for years, in situations with great demands on movement, speed and torsion, it is advantageous and more economical to monitor the wires to avoid prolonged and unexpected stops of the systems that lead to production breaks. ETHERLINE® GUARD is an innovative solution from LAPP. A compact device that monitors the state of health of ethernet cables subject to significant physical and dynamic stress […]
