CABLeS UnDeR eXtReMe ConDItIonS Whether at the north Pole or in the Himalayas, in mines or in underwater caves, in biogas plants or at sporting events in ice and snow, cables and industrial connectors from Lapp often need to withstand extreme conditions. they must withstand very high or very low temperatures, must not disintegrate in aggressive media such as acids or alkalis, and must be par- ticularly robust against mechanical loads. “off the shelf” cables won’t satisfy our most discerning users for long – there is the risk of failure after only a short time. this can lead to high losses and sometimes even endanger life, especially in areas or plants that are difficult to access.
