With ETHERLINE® FD bioP Cat.5e, LAPP has already launched the first data cable on the market that replaces some of the fossil raw materials in the plastic jacket with bio-based ones. At SPS 2024, LAPP also presented two prototypes for bio-based connector housings from the EPIC® series, which are close to market maturity. The company is thus pioneering sustainable connection technology.

Companies’ sustainability communication often focuses on Scope 1 and 2 emissions that arise within the company itself and from purchased energy. Data on Scope 3 emissions, which are generated along the entire value chain of manufacturing companies and also determine a large part of the carbon footprint of the products manufactured, are often more difficult to determine. LAPP wants to create transparency here too and is increasingly publishing data on the emissions caused by the production of fastening solutions.

With all of the possible SKINTOP® cable gland choices, it can be difficult determining which solution may be best for your application. We created a chart with the most basic SKINTOP® information, so you can easily establish which cord grip to move forward with based on its body material, thread type, special applications, and approvals and ratings.

Working with plastics is an art and can also be compared a little to Michelin-starred cuisine. The special mixtures and techniques produce perfectly harmonised, masterful results – be it in food or in plastics. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Bonten is a master of plastics technology. He has headed the Institute for Plastics Technology (IKT) at the University of Stuttgart since 2010 and, together with his team, has been an important advisor to LAPP for many years.

On 26 December 2004, the earth shook in the Indian Ocean with a magnitude of 9.1. The epicentre was around 85 kilometres off Sumatra. The result: a devastating tsumami that claimed the lives of around 230,000 people. In order to better predict such quakes in the future, an innovative measuring method with fibre optic monitoring has now been developed with the support of the European Union. The special cable for this comes from LAPP.

Sustainable raw materials, reducing the CO2 footprint, efficient logistics and compliance with new regulatory requirements – these are the topics on which LAPP is focusing. The Stuttgart-based supplier of connection solutions is developing pioneering solutions for the future, in which the world is becoming increasingly interconnected.
