Good-Vibes Stories: Partner LAWO Rental

For us, one thing is clear: the combination of technical expertise, high product quality and a genuine partnership makes Sommer cable a key component in the success of our rental and live production projects. Together, we ensure that everything runs smoothly, even under the most demanding conditions.

Today we would like to introduce you to our partner, LAWO Rental:

Sometimes a long-standing partnership begins with a bold first step. LAWO Rental was the first customer to use our FIBER4 system. That trust meant a great deal to us.

“No other customer would have undertaken a project on this scale. That trust played a key role in enabling the FIBER4 system to establish itself successfully.” – Martin Zwer from Sommer cable

Today, 20 years on, we are connected by far more than just joint projects. What began as a trusting working relationship has evolved into a no-fuss, personal exchange that has developed into something almost like a friendship over the years.

HICON 4 x LC, plastic-, Patch-female connector, Type D M3, black

HI-FIBER4-FD-P

The bright spot with an overview... The HICON HI-FIBER connector gives you that, because it fits all 4-fibre cables and, with a little practice, you can carry out repairs on site yourself. Our roadworthy HICON HI-FIBER connector system is based on 4 optical LC fibre optic cables that are protected by a robust, compact housing. It consists of a cable plug and an installation socket in compact D-flange format, which can also be used as a universal cable coupling for extension (cascading). You can also use the socket to connect the HI-FIBER system with up to 4 conventional LC cables (or 2 LC duplex cables) and connect it to existing LC systems or LC/ST or LC/SC adapters - simply plug in the LC and you're done.The 4-way LC coupler is ideal for installation and extension, equipped with a D-flange that offers 2xM3 threads and 2xM3 countersinks.

A partnership of the highest calibre.

Particularly in an industry where downtime or signal interference are simply not an option, our customers need products they can rely on 100 per cent.

Johannes from LAWO Rental says: “For us, Sommer cable is far more than just a supplier – the company is a reliable partner that understands our high quality standards and consistently supports us. Particularly when it comes to specialised cables and bespoke requirements, we can always rely on the team’s expertise and flexibility. Sommer cable’s upmarket cable and connector solutions make a significant contribution to this and are tried and tested in countless live productions.

And even if a specific solution is not immediately available, Sommer cable finds a way: custom cable assemblies are developed and manufactured in accordance with the currently applicable standards and specifications to reliably meet even the most unusual requirements.”

- Johannes Rabe LAWO Rental

No-fuss. Reliable. Personal.

Yet our collaboration has long since gone beyond projects and products. Over the years, a long-standing business relationship has developed into a personal and trusting exchange. As LAWO Rental is very close to Martin’s home, he is happy to deliver items in person when speed is of the essence.

Johannes says: “We particularly value the personal and trusting customer relationship. Short lines of communication, quick response times and a partnership-based exchange make working together efficient and enjoyable.”

Strong connections are forged not only through our products, but above all through the people behind them – simply good vibes, really.
