Lapp’s OLFLEX® Cable Range Gets International Approval

The ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 130 H, a cost-effective control cable that is halogen-free and highly flame-resistant, now has UL AWM certification for use in USA and Canada and fire testing approval to VW-1.

The ÖLFLEX CONTROL M and TM machinery installation cables, are MTW-listed (Machine Tool Wire) and hence are now approved for the North American market. AWG conductors adapted to metric sizes also allow CE-conformity for use in Europe. The cable has also been NOM-listed (Norma Oficial Mexicana) for Mexico.

Several Lapp cables have been certified for the Chinese market: The ÖLFLEX 140 control cable with increased oil resistance and the internationally approved ÖLFLEX 150 QUATTRO control cable with its screened variants 140 CY and 150 CY QUATTRO, now also have the important China Compulsory Certification (CCC). Applications include machine and plant construction, machine tools, conveyor units, conveyor belts and assembly lines.
