Draka EHC's Connectorization Services can result in a faster, low-cost installation. According to your specifications, hoistway and traveling cables can be transformed into plug-and-play wiring harnesses fitted with modular connectors that simply snap into place in the field.

Connectorization ensures that cables and harnesses are quickly, easily and accurately installed. Color-coded connectors assure positive circuit identification. All connectorized cable products are 100% post-fabrication tested for total customer satisfaction.

For best results, send an engineering drawing of the connectorized cable/harness and/or a sample of the harness. You will be given a quote and a lead-time, followed with a finished sample (upon request) for your inspection.

Another convenient time and money-saving service we offer is matching our cables with electrical and mechanical components—including hand tools, should you request them—and packaging them together into convenient installation kits.

Cables are cut to length and small components are packed in sealed plastic bags so as not to get lost. This ensures all the cables and components needed for a complete, safe installation and arrive on site according to your schedule.
