* Testing is not required. If tested, results would meet or exceed UL 1277 requirements. Lapp mechanical protection values for each level much meet or exceed the requirements of the referenced standards.

Depending on the specific application, a cable may be exposed to external factors and varioustypesofabuse,whichcan includeCNCmachinecenters,mining,foodandbeverage plants, automotive assembly lines, machine tools, data processing, and automation applications. Unintentional mishaps which occur during routine manufacturing can range from a cable being struck by a falling object, to it being accidentally run over. Lapp cables are tested to meet or exceed UL and ASTM requirements.
