ETHERLINE® - Active Network Components
Ethernet technology-based networks are playing an increasingly important role in industries. Our ETHERLINE® portfolio offers comprehensive solutions for your Ethernet network. You can always rely on our products to avoid downtimes and expensive breakdowns. The systems are made up of durable and robust cables and connection components for passive and active network technology to deliver an effective solution.


Our cables have Polyolefin or Foam skin insulation which will create lower capacitance to provide faster communication. With outer jackets in Polyurethane (PUR)/ Halogen free compound material, we provide robustness for industrial networking challenges. ETHERLINE® cables are constructed with different combination of screening like pair screening, overall screening or steel wire braiding.For seamless connectivity, LAPP also offers matching field-mountable connectors and pre-assembled patch cables and ETHERLINE® Access - managed and unmanaged switches for varied applications. Our products are thoroughly tested in our in-house laboratory to ensure that we can provide the quality that you have come to expect from us.
