AWG (American Wire Gauge) is the US standard that defines the cross-sectional areas and diameters for solid, round electrical wire and is based on the number of dies required to draw down the raw copper to the appropriate size.

Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) is recommended and, in some applications, specified for environments where the protection of people and equipment is paramount. In the event of a fire, the sheaths used on the cable will release far less smoke and no harmful halogen gases when burning compared to non-LSZH wiring.

Cables and connector systems are a vital link in high-performance refrigeration systems required by industries such as food and beverage, chemical, medical, scientific and advanced logistics and shipping companies.

While the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is no longer news for everyone, the cabling that makes it function optimally is, for many involved in preparing for the future of manufacturing, industrial and infrastructure facilities and other plants.

LAPP debuts 12 new products for mechanical and plant engineering, industrial comms, and rail industries

Anyone who doubts that solar power is about to make a major contribution to the planet’s clean-green energy output might pause to consider some statistics provided by LAPP Australia about one of the LAPP Group’s recent eco-friendly projects.

A cable gland range designed for reliable, germ-free performance in food and beverage applications is helping Australian food and beverage companies optimise hygiene practices post-Covid.

Australia is one of the world’s most resource-rich countries. The continent “Down Under” has huge reserves, such as lead, zinc, nickel, bauxite, iron ore, coal, cobalt, tantalum and even copper. This is why the mining industry is one of Australia’s most important economic factors. The safety requirements for production are correspondingly high. Tailored connection solutions from LAPP are now being used in an innovative lighting system from the Australian company, IoT Automation.
