LAPP will unveil an innovative cable monitoring device alongside its broad lineup of industrial cables and connectors during PACK EXPO 2022.
ETHERLINE GUARD is a new plug-and-play cable monitoring device that acquires sensor data about the physical properties of industrial Ethernet data cables, allowing users to monitor actual cable performance and identify degradation over time. With ETHERLINE GUARD, users can implement a preventive maintenance strategy while avoiding unplanned downtimes and premature cable replacement.
This compact, easy-to-use device is well-suited for 100BASE-TX (up to 100 Mbit/s) data cables in accordance with IEEE 802.3 as well as EtherCAT, EtherNET/IP and two-pair PROFINET applications.
In addition to ETHERLINE GUARD, visitors to Booth LU-8758 at PACK EXPO 2022, to be held in Chicago, Illinois, during October 23 through 26, can also check out many other products from LAPP’s varied lineup. Highlights include:
- SKINTOP MULTI-M strain relief bushing system. This multi-cable bushing system organizes multiple unharnessed cables and provides high packing density to save space in tight cabinet installations. Elastic gel technology gives each cable an IP68 seal.
- LAPP ӦLFLEX VFD — light, medium and heavy-duty cable range. Engineered to operate in harsh factory conditions, LAPP ӦLFLEX VFD cables resist oil, water and impacts. The company will be showcasing the ӦLFLEX VFD Slim, 1XL and 2XL — LAPP's light, medium and heavy duty VFD cable range. Experts will be happy to share the advantages and features of each style, so the best VFD cable in the range can be selected for specific applications.
