Flat Elevator Traveling Cable

Steel Wire Supported

The Steel Wire Supported Flat Elevator Traveling Cable, also referred to as the Steel-Reinforced Flat Lift Traveling Cable, is purpose-built for demanding vertical lifting systems, including elevators, lifts, hoisting equipment, and other applications requiring frequent bending and continuous movement. This series incorporates a robust steel wire support structure within the flame-retardant elevator flat cable and fiber optic construction, delivering superior tensile strength, enhanced anti-sagging performance, and exceptional wear resistance.

As a heavy-duty PUR elevator cable for hoistway vertical travel, the integrated steel wires provide added mechanical protection and long-term shape stability, ensuring reliable signal transmission and consistent electrical conductivity during prolonged reciprocating motion. 

Moreover, the SDI video integrated lift cable configuration, reinforced with steel wires, supports high-definition video transmission alongside power and control signals, making it ideal for high-rise or high-cycle elevators where durability and safety are critical.

Key Features

Steel Wire Reinforcement: Embedded steel wires provide enhanced tensile strength, anti-sagging performance, and mechanical protection, ideal for high-rise and high-cycle elevators

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

Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC60332-1 standard

Excellent Flexibility:  Easy installation in narrow hoistways

High Abrasion & Tear Resistance:  Steel wires withstand mechanical shocks from elevator starting and stopping

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

Under Steel Reinforced conditions: 

✓Steel-reinforced PUR cables achieve >8 million bending cycles (approx. 6–7 years service life);  

✓Steel-reinforced PVC cables achieve approx. 4–5 million bending cycles (approx. 4–5 years service life).   

✓Actual life varies with frequency, environment, and maintenance.

 We offer solutions tailored to specific customer requirements.
