Elevator Cable

The demand for elevator communications is increasing, leading to a need for high-resolution video surveillance, telephony, control signals, audio systems, advertising video boards, and more. Consequently, there are now various options available for connecting these IP devices to a traveling cable. 

You can achieve Ethernet connectivity in the elevator cabin using converters or interface modules. Available solutions include fiber-optic cables, specially designed twisted-pair cables comparable to Cat 5e, and two-wire Ethernet converters. To identify the right traveling cable solution that fits your specific LAN and Ethernet requirements, consider Prysmian. 

Furthermore, Prysmian's limit switches are used in various elevator and escalator applications. These switches are manufactured to meet a broad range of international quality and safety standards. They are highly resistant to dust and moisture (IP65 rated) and come in various actuator configurations.

Draka EHC's Connectorization Services can significantly reduce installation time and costs. According to your specifications, hoistway and traveling cables can be converted into plug-and-play wiring harnesses equipped with modular connectors that easily snap into place in the field. 

Connectorization ensures that cables and harnesses are installed quickly, easily, and accurately. The color-coded connectors facilitate positive circuit identification. All connectorized cable products undergo 100% post-fabrication testing to ensure total customer satisfaction. 

For optimal results, please provide an engineering drawing of the connectorized cable or harness and/or a sample of the harness. You will receive a quote along with an estimated lead time, and a finished sample can be provided for your inspection upon request.

We offer a convenient and cost-saving service that includes matching our cables with electrical and mechanical components, such as hand tools, if requested. These items are then packaged into complete installation kits. 

Cables are cut to the desired length, and small components are placed in sealed plastic bags to prevent loss. This ensures that all the necessary cables and components for a safe and complete installation arrive on site according to your schedule.
