New Training Center to Benefit Students and Local Workforce

Historical Partnership with Shelton State Community College

New Training Center to Benefit Students and Local Workforce

The Lapp Center for Excellence in Cable Technology will provide Shelton State Community College in Alabama the ability to teach students the technical aspects of electrical cabling selection and installation.  

Understanding that students of today should be prepared to enter a global marketplace, it is important for them to utilize the National Electrical Code as well as International standards for wire, cable, and connector selection.  

The Lapp Center will provide a platform to teach students code standards, terminology and nomenclature used in the electrical cabling industry along with procedures for selecting the proper wire, cable and connectors for specific applications. 

In addition, students will train with industry standard tools and techniques using hands on activities to terminate wire and cable products in real world examples of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.    

Utilizing reference materials that are developed and furnished by the Lapp Group, college faculty will integrate all of the related information into the existing curriculum currently required for students enrolled in the Industrial Electronics and Electrical Technology programs of study.

CAT.6A Cables For Continuous Flex and Torsion Applications

CAT.6A Cables For Continuous Flex and Torsion Applications

 
CAT.6A cables already provide fast data transmission rates in industrial Ethernet systems. Yet these cables could not withstand the continuous flex or torsion requirements associated with moving machine applications. Our new ETHERLINE® CAT.6A cables remove this limitation.
In an industry first, the new ETHERLINE cables combine CAT.6A’s 10 Gbit/sec data transfer rates withcontinuous flex and torsion performance suitable for robotics, machine vision systems, wind turbines and other industrial machines with motion systems. 
 
Previous continuous flex industrial Ethernet cables offered a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/sec.To raise the bar on CAT6.A continuous flex performance, our engineers had to solve a tricky shielding challenge. CAT6.A cables operate at frequencies as high as 500 MHz, which predisposes them to electromagnetic noise and interference (EMI). A conventional shielding system capable of warding off EMI at these high frequencies would have made the cables too stiff for continuous flex or torsion applications. 
 
So our engineers created an entirely new shielding system that strikes a balance between EMI
protection, flexibility and the mechanical strength to withstand the high strains associated with continuous flex or torsion. This new shielding employs a proprietary wrapping process that wraps aluminum compound foil around individual twisted pairs at an angle optimized for shielding performance. 
 
In addition, the cable has a copper braid reinforced with a foil-laminated fleece.This high-quality screening, the first of its kind,ensures extremely reliable data transfer. 
 
ETHERLINE CAT.6A comes in two different versions, one optimized for continuous flex and the other for torsion. The continuous flex version is suitable for use in cable tracks and has been tested for morethan one million bending cycles.Available with either PVC or PUR jackets, both versions of the ETHERLINE CAT.6A offer: 
 
  • Compliance to the PROFINET standard.
  • Resistance to UV and flame.
  • Performance in damp or dry operating environments.
 
New RJ45 and M12 x-coded connectors designed specially for ETHERLINE CAT6.A cables are also
available.

Communication & Control Cables suited for stationary wiring applications.





C 304 - Unshielded
C 304 S - Shielded




















D 304 IS
D 304 OS

















In the right application, the 304 Series will cost about 30% less than a premium signal and control cable—such as our Unitronic 300. Keep in mind, however, that the cost savings applies only to the price of the cable itself. Higher performing wire products, such as Unitronic 300, will provide a lower installed cost whenever the application calls for oil resistance, high flex cycles or exposed run installation.

New Signal and Control Cable Provides Price Sensitive Solution



Not every wiring application requires extreme protection against oil, flex cycles or abrasion. In these cases, it makes both engineering and economic sense to specify cables with more modest performance characteristics.
To meet the market demand for less demanding signal and control applications, we have introduced the C 304 and D 304 Series. These data, communication and control cables are intended for enclosed wiring applications with minimal or no exposure to oil and flex cycles. For example, RS–232 wiring within control cabinets or other electrical enclosures represents an ideal application for the 304 Series.
Technical features of these new 300V paired cables include:
           UL& CSA CMG and AWM approvals. UL CMG allows you to route the cable from the machine through the infrastructure directly to the control panel.
           Excellent flame resistance (FT4)
           Shielded for EMI-sensitive signal, audio, instrumentation control and broadcast applications.
   
In the right application, the 304 Series will cost about 30% less than a premium signal and control cable—such as our Unitronic 300. Keep in mind, however, that the cost savings applies only to the price of the cable itself. Higher performing wire products, such as Unitronic 300, will provide a lower installed cost whenever the application calls for oil resistance, high flex cycles or exposed run installation.
