the cable halogen-free and suitable for occupied areas.

The material is also UV and weather resistant, water resistant and flexible at low temperatures. Lapp’s initial research into DC cables, in cooperation with TU Illmenau, has shown that certain insulation materials are less suitable for permanent DC applications. Based on these findings, Lapp has developed its first DC portfolio, of which the DC Robot 900 cable is a part. Others in the range include Ölflex DC 100 with PVC insulation, suitable for fixed installation without mechanical stress; Ölflex DC Servo 700, intended for fixed installation and occasional flexible use; and Ölflex DC Chain 800 with TPE insulation, suitable for continuous movement in cable chains and linear moving machine parts. New model pays off Maillefer has unveiled a new compact fiber optic pay-off with a reduced machine footprint but designed for standard 50km reels. The new PM 265 pay-off is equipped with the same features to be found on Maillefer’s PM 305 model, offering up to 70 percent shorter set-up times.

“Bend-insensitive fiber’s resilience gives manufacturers the ability to design cabling solutions which were previously impossible to create, but are now demanded by today’s rapidly changing environments. “With their extreme fiber count and reduced diameter, Sirocco Extreme microduct cables make installation faster, more cost effective and environment-friendly. “Designed for installation into microducts, they are perfectly fit for blowing in high density access, FTTx and 5G networks and offer a scalable solution.” DC range Lapp has developed its first robot cable, specifically designed for use with direct current (DC). The key features of the Ölflex DC Robot 900 connecting cable are its torsional and bending strength, and a core color coding that conforms to DIN EN 60445 (VDE 0197):2018-02 standard for DC cables. Fiber counts over 288 will bemade available later in the year.
