Strong demand for CC-Link products
03 May 2016
Lapp Group, which is headquartered in Stuttgart and has operations around the globe, has in recent years developed a range of cables for CC-Link networks. Sales of these have been significant, particularly in Asia.
Ralf Moebus, the company’s Head of Product Management, explains: “We started our CC-Link development with a fieldbus cable and now also make optical and copper cables for CC-Link IE, the gigabit industrial Ethernet option. In fact, our cables will support 10-gigabit data rates. We are seeing strong demand in Asia for these cables and they will be key to our future growth.”
CC-Link IE and CC-Link are the leading open automation network technologies throughout Asia. They were originally developed in Japan by Mitsubishi Electric, and then passed over to the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) as open technologies. Today, the CLPA is responsible for their development and promotion worldwide. It has offices and conformance testing centres around the world and Lapp is among about 300 manufacturers globally who offer CC-Link IE and CC-Link compatible products.
