eXtReMe APPLICAtIon In tHe HIMALAYAS ÖLFLeX ® HeAt cables have also really proved themselves on the highest mountains where temperatures between -50 °C and, in sunlight, more than 40 °C often prevail. A Polish moun- tain 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. It was used for cabling the generator at the base camp. the 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 metres. the switching station provided the power supply for the satellite phone and the radio station. Particularly robust ePIC ® industrial connectors were also used.

LIgHt FoR tHe DePtHS oF tHe oCeAn taking light to the depths of the ocean – this is what the Polish company gRALmarine specialises in. ÖLFLeX ® cables and SKIntoP ® cable glands from Lapp are used for the connec- tion technology within the underwater lamps. With SKIntoP ® BS cable glands and ÖLFLeX ® CLASSIC 440P or ÖLFLeX ® CLASSIC 550P, lamps and systems from gRALmarine even work reliably at diving depths of more than 1,000 metres. thanks to the special polyurethane sheath, these cables guarantee a long service life, even in rough operating conditions.
