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.
