Elevator Travelling Cable

TEBAOFLEX elevator travelling cables carry Ethernet data between the building and the moving lift car. The category currently lists one model, the flat 4xCAT6 cable: four CAT 6E S/FTP data elements and steel wire (ST) elements under a PVC outer sheath, rated 48/100 V with IEC 11801 as the applied standard. It supports channels of up to 50 m to RJ45 plug systems, with a signal booster for taller buildings.

Product Advantages

What sets TEBAOFLEX Elevator Travelling Cable apart in service.

Four CAT 6E Elements

Four separate CAT 6E S/FTP elements in one flat cable, each with four pairs and optimised for RJ45 plug systems on LAN and Ethernet links.

Foil and Braid Screening

Aluminium/polyester tape screening and a tinned copper wire braid with ≥85% braid density help maintain signal integrity on each CAT 6E element.

50 m Channel Length

Supports a channel of up to 50 m from transceiver to receiver; a signal booster between two cable connections extends the link in taller buildings.

Steel Wire Elements

Steel wire (ST) elements with a calculated breaking load of 167 kgf run alongside the data elements inside the flat PVC outer sheath.

Flat PVC Construction

A flat profile of approx. 8.2 × 38.9 mm and 478 kg/km, with nominal PVC outer sheath thicknesses of 1, 0.7 and 1.8 mm (e1, e2, e3).

48/100 V Rating

Rated 48/100 V for low-voltage data and communication circuits, with IEC 11801 listed as the applied standard for the cable and its CAT 6E elements.

How to Choose Elevator Travelling Cable

Four decisions specify the right cable the first time; send them with your RFQ and our engineers confirm the type designation.

1

Lift Layout and Loop

Travel height, speed, loop depth, suspension, guide arrangement and cycle duty; for data runs beyond the 50 m channel, plan a signal booster.

2

Functional Elements

Power, control, emergency, Ethernet or other signal elements, plus shielding and connectors; the 4xCAT6 cable carries four CAT 6E S/FTP elements for RJ45 plug systems.

3

Weight and Support

Cable weight, bend radius and support; the 4xCAT6 cable weighs approx. 478 kg/km, with steel wire elements of 167 kgf calculated breaking load.

4

Fire and Inspection

Fire and smoke requirements and the local lift inspection scope; a CAT6 or voltage label on its own is not a complete compliance record.

Manufacturing Process

From compound to shipment, the production steps and routine tests behind each cable length.

  1. 1

    Compound preparation

    EPR, CPE, PUR and silicone compounds are mixed and tested for hardness, tensile strength and elongation before use.

  2. 2

    Conductor stranding

    Tinned or bare copper is bunched and rope-stranded to Class 5/6 flexibility for trailing and reeling duty.

  3. 3

    Insulation extrusion

    Cores are extruded and continuously vulcanised; wall thickness and spark tests are recorded on every length.

  4. 4

    Core assembly and screening

    Cores, earth conductors, pilot and fibre-optic elements are laid up with the fillers and screens the type designation requires.

  5. 5

    Inner and outer sheathing

    Reinforced double-sheath constructions are extruded and cured for abrasion, oil and tear resistance.

  6. 6

    Routine electrical tests

    Conductor resistance, voltage withstand and insulation resistance tests at the levels set by the referenced standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about Elevator Travelling Cable from our engineers.

01What is the 4xCAT6 elevator travelling cable?

It is a flat travelling cable that combines four separate CAT 6E S/FTP data elements with steel wire (ST) elements under a PVC outer sheath. It is rated 48/100 V with IEC 11801 as the applied standard, measures approx. 8.2 × 38.9 mm and weighs about 478 kg/km. The CAT 6E elements are optimised for RJ45 plug systems for LAN, Ethernet and Internet connectivity in the car.

02How long can the Ethernet channel be?

The cable is designed for a channel of up to 50 m from transceiver to receiver. For longer distances, as in taller buildings, a signal booster can be added between two cable connections. State the travel height, loop depth and required channel length in the RFQ so the booster position can be planned together with the lift layout.

03How are the CAT 6E elements constructed?

Each element has four pairs of solid copper conductors (1/0.51 mm, 0.2047 mm²) with 0.22 mm HDPE insulation, arranged around a central separator. Screening is an aluminium/polyester tape of 0.05 mm plus a tinned copper wire braid with ≥85% braid density. A polyester tape, a tear rope and a 0.5 mm PVC sheath complete the element, which is about 6.8 mm in diameter.

04Which elevator systems can use the cable?

The product page lists data-intensive elevator systems that need LAN, Ethernet or Internet connectivity: IP-based security cameras, in-car Wi-Fi access points, high-definition digital signage and advertising displays, and ISDN and VoIP communication systems. With four separate CAT 6E elements, several of these services can run to the car in one travelling cable, each terminated on RJ45 plug systems.

05Does the cable include power or control cores?

No power or control cores are listed for the 4xCAT6 cable; its construction is four CAT 6E data elements and steel wire (ST) elements. If the lift also needs power, control, emergency or other signal circuits in the travelling cable, list them in the RFQ together with the shielding and connector requirements so the complete cable arrangement can be reviewed.

06What should I send with an elevator travelling cable RFQ?

The lift layout and loop geometry: travel height, speed, loop depth, suspension, guide arrangement and cycle duty. The power, control, emergency, Ethernet or other signal elements, with shielding and connectors. The expected cable weight, bend radius and support, the fire and smoke requirements, and the local lift inspection scope. Add the existing cable marking or the lift drawing; a CAT6 or voltage label alone is not a complete compliance record.
