EXTREME APPLICATION IN THE HIMALAYAS ÖLFLEX ® HEAT cables have also truly proven themselves on the highest mountains where temperature extremes between -50°C and over 40°C often prevail. A Polish mountain expedition packed the ÖLFLEX ® HEAT 205 SC single-core cable for ascending the west side of the Annapurna massif (8,091 m) in the Himalayas and the Gasherbrum (8,035 m) in the Karakorum range. The cable was used to power the generator at the base camp. ÖLFLEX ® HEAT 180 EWKF silicone cables were used to connect the central switching station to the lights for the mess, kitchen, and tents at an altitude of 5,100 meters. The switching station provided the power supply for the satellite phone and the radio station. Particularly robust EPIC ® industrial connectors were also utilized in this particularly challenging installation.

LIGHT FOR THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN Taking light to the depths of the ocean: this is where the Polish company GRALmarine specializes. ÖLFLEX ® cables and SKINTOP ® cable glands from Lapp are used for the connection technology within the underwater lamps. With SKINTOP ® BS cable glands, ÖLFLEX ® CLASSIC 440 P, and ÖLFLEX ® CLASSIC 550 P cables, lamps and systems from GRALmarine are reliable at diving depths of more than 1,000 meters. Thanks to their special polyurethane jacket, these cables guarantee a long service life, even in such harsh operating conditions.
