CABLE ATTRIBUTES

Mechanical Resistance

Over 50 years ago company founder, Oskar Lapp, designed and manufactured the world's first multi-conductor control cable. Ever since the Lapp Group has been known as the worldwide leader in flexible cable technology.

Through continual R&D and the extensive knowledge of our engineers; the Lapp Group has developed criteria which will aid the cable user in deciding which cable is best suited to their application.

As you will find on the following pages, the Lapp Group has brought cable specifying to a new level for the following product attributes: Oil Resistance, Flame Resistance Levels, Motion Types, and Mechanical Properties. By setting the criteria for such important attributes, our engineers have given the cable buyer a more precise and definitive way to choose the cable that's right for their specific application or environment.

The symbols located at the top of the page relate to applicable Lapp products and can be found on the product pages within this catalog. To help you choose the Lapp cable that best suits your requirements, we suggest you review the criteria and definitions on the following pages and familiarize yourself with the different levels.

The Lapp Group will strive to continue to provide creative solutions and the highest quality
products you've come to expect.
