Flat Elevator Traveling Cable

Shield

The Shield Flat Elevator Traveling Cable, also referred to as the Shield Flat Lift Traveling Cable, including elevators, lifts, hoisting equipment, and other applications requiring frequent bending and continuous movement. This series incorporates a multi-layer shielding structure combining aluminum foil and high-density copper braiding within the flame retardant elevator flat cable with fiber optic construction, delivering superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection and reliable signal integrity.

As a heavy-duty PUR elevator cable for hoistway vertical travel, the shielded design provides added mechanical protection and long-term shape stability, ensuring stable signal transmission and consistent electrical conductivity during prolonged reciprocating motion. 

Key Features

Shielding Structure: Multi-layer shielding combining aluminum foil and high-density copper braiding for enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection

EMI Protection:  Effectively blocks external interference, ensuring noise-free signal transmission in electrically noisy hoistway environments

Longer service life:  Steel reinforcement reduces core stress: up to 6 years for PUR sheath, 4 years for PVC sheath

Excellent flexibility:  Easy installation in narrow hoistways

99% fine oxygen-free copper:  Ensures superior conductivity

Flexible & bend-resistant design:  Adapts to long-term reciprocating bending motion

Oil, cold, and weather resistance:  Suitable for indoor, outdoor, and semi-outdoor environments

This cable supports on-demand integration of:

✓Optical fiber unit

✓Signal transmission

✓SDI video transmission

Specifications

Voltage Rating : 0.6/1kV

Steel wire reinforcement: Embedded galvanized steel strands (e.g., 7×0.25mm or as specified) provide enhanced breaking strength and reduce core tension during reciprocating motion.

Conductor: Fine oxygen-free copper wire, complies with VDE0295 Class 5 or Class 6, also meets IEC60228 Class 5 requirements

Insulation Material: PVC

Core Identification: Black cores with continuous white numbers; includes a G/Y protective earth core from 3 cores upwards.

Color: Black (RAL9005)

Shield: Tinned copper wire braid, braiding density not less than 90%

Tensile Element: Steel wire rope or Kevlar, can be added on both sides of the cable or in the center of the core as required

Working Temperature:  Reel-based Cable Installation-30℃~80℃

                                        Fixed Cable Installation-40℃~90℃

Test Voltage: 3500V

Standard: VDE0250P813 MT818

CE, ROSH Compliant

Under standard conditions: PUR cables achieve >5 million bending cycles (approx. 5-year service life); 

                                             PVC cables achieve approx. 3 million cycles (approx. 3-year service life). 

Actual life varies with frequency, environment, and maintenance.

We offer solutions tailored to specific customer requirements.
