CABLE ATTRIBUTES
Mechanical Resistance

* Impact and Crush tests not applicable for intended end use of product.
** Testing not required, however, if tested, these groups would meet or exceed UL 1277 Impact and Crush requirements by virtue of their superior mechanical properties.

Depending upon the specific application, a cable may be exposed to external factors and various types of abuse. The explicit type of industrial manufacturing or processing environment will determine the actual degree of mechanical protection that a cable requires. CNC machine centers, Mining, Food and Beverage plants, Automotive Assembly facilities, Machine tools, Data Processing, Automation, etc. applications all require a certain level of mechanical protection. The unintentional mishaps that occur everyday during routine manufacturing can range anywhere from a cable being struck by a falling object, to it being accidentally run over. There are many other types of mechanical abuse that are common in an industrial environment. With all the possibilities that your cable may be exposed to, you will need the protection and reliability that is provided in the many design configurations that are offered by the Lapp Group.
