Leading cable solutions provider, Lapp Ltd, has announced the joint launch of its ÖLFLEX 130H control cable family and its SKINTOP ST-HF-M easy to assemble cable gland range. Both are low-cost, totally halogen-free products designed to be used together in a variety of applications where human and animal life as well as valuable property are potentially exposed to high risk of fire hazards. These include public facilities, airports, train stations and hospitals.

“This new cable and gland combination offers the ideal solution for applications where the need for flame retardant, smoke free products are specified.” Comments Matt Ansell, Marketing manager for Lapp Group UK. “These requirements are now commonly found in public buildings, hospitals and schools.”

The new environmentally friendly cable meets IEC 60332-3 and is suitable for both fixed installation under medium mechanical load conditions and for certain applications where flexing is required. The ÖLFLEX 130H cable family can be supplied in a very wide range of core numbers and sizes.

The new SKINTOP ST-HF-M is a highly reliable metric cable gland that makes use of the established SKINTOP system to provide a fast and secure solution. Meeting EN 50262, the new gland is extremely flame retardant, is self extinguishing and offers permanent vibration protection.

As the manufacturer behind powerful international cable brands, such as ÖLFLEX flexible control cables, EPIC industrial connectors and SKINTOP cable glands, Lapp is at the forefront of cabling technology, with solutions for almost every application, from mechanical engineering, automation, and robotics, to building services and data transmission. In addition, Lapp can also supply medium voltage (MV) and high voltage (HV) cables as part of a comprehensive cable collection.
