Choose Insulation & Sheath Material Matching Your Working Environment
A cable performing well in normal indoor elevator shaft may deliver different results in cold climate, machine room‑less lift, high‑rise hoistway or projects requiring low smoke zero halogen. Insulation and sheath materials must match the actual shaft service environment. Commercial elevator traveling cables include PVC, PUR, TPE and rubber constructions, as well as LSZH low smoke zero halogen versions. Environmental compatibility belongs to the specified full cable construction, rather than copper conductor alone.
| Working Environment | What to Specify | What to Verify |
|---|---|---|
| General passenger elevator shaft | Suspension length, elevator running speed, continuous working temperature | Flexing fatigue resistance, insulation stability and long‑term electrical resistance |
| Fire safety priority project | Fire rating, smoke toxicity, halogen‑free requirement | LSZH performance, flame retardant / fire resistant property |
| Cold climate elevator / outdoor hoistway | Minimum ambient temperature, frost and humidity level | Cold resistant sheath, low‑temperature flexibility, no cracking on bending |
| High‑speed & super high‑rise elevator | Max traveling speed, long free suspension load | Steel wire reinforced structure, tensile strength, anti‑breakage performance |
| CCTV / network integrated elevator | CAT5e / CAT6 / CAT6a / CAT7, RG59 coaxial, intercom or fiber cores | EMI shielding, crosstalk, signal attenuation, anti‑interference performance |
| Narrow shaft & compact lift layout | Hoistway clearance, repeated bending path | Minimum bending radius, flexible flat structure, anti‑abrasion sheath |
Our product portfolio includes PVC, LSZH, PUR, TPE and rubber formulations for different elevator codes and regional standards. This does not mean one single cable construction can be interchangeable for all elevator projects.
Not sure about your elevator parameters and code requirements? Send your elevator supplier’s specification and field‑site condition description. Elevator load alone cannot determine the correct cable model.

Elevator Cable Construction
Finished elevator traveling cable integrates multiple functions: power transmission, control signal, network / video communication, tensile load bearing, repeated bending resistance and convenient field stripping‑termination.
Two mainstream construction routes for elevator traveling cables are listed below:
| Construction Route | Simplified Layer Sequence (Conductor outward) | Selection Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Standard flat TVVB PVC construction | Class 5 stranded copper conductor / PVC insulation / overall PVC flat sheath | Cost performance, easy stripping, general passenger elevator use |
| Steel wire reinforced flat construction | Class 5 copper conductor + embedded steel wire / jute center strength member / insulation / flat sheath | Long suspension length, high‑speed elevator, high tensile load |
| Shielded composite data integrated construction | Power cores + twisted pair CAT cores / RG59 coaxial / fiber unit + S/FTP shielding + outer sheath | CCTV, elevator camera, intercom, stable network signal, EMI anti‑interference |
| LSZH low smoke zero halogen construction | Flexible copper / LSZH insulation / LSZH sheath | Fire safety requirement, public building, hospital, subway elevator |
These represent major construction families. Exact material grade, layer thickness, shielding density and strength member layout must be defined for each specific application.
The Class 5 flexible copper conductor undertakes stable power and signal transmission. Insulation, sheath, steel reinforcement and shielding jointly provide bending fatigue resistance, anti‑oxidation, mechanical protection and signal isolation. Final hoistway service performance also depends on cable installation method, suspension length, elevator speed, shaft temperature and fire code requirements. Service life must be validated with real‑site working conditions and flexing cycle tests.
Technical Specifications for an Accurate Quotation
A valid quotation should clearly define finished cable parameters for purchasing, quality‑control and production teams to compare against existing approved materials.

Custom Marking, Easy‑Strip Design and Composite Integrated Structure
Elevator cable needs clear identification while maintaining excellent repeated bending and on‑site installation performance.
Define these details during drawing and tooling approval:
Cable marking: Cable type, cross‑section, core arrangement, brand logo, batch number and traceability information.
Easy‑strip design: Optimized insulation‑sheath separation property for fast field termination without conductor damage.
Print registration: Alignment between printed marking and cable outer surface.
Composite core layout: Separate isolation between power cores and data/video cores to reduce EMI interference.
SKU control: Separate drawing references for different core combinations, reinforcement types and certification versions.
Special sheath formula also has practical production‑application value. Optimized sheath formula improves anti‑abrasion, cold resistant and anti‑crack performance during millions of repeated up‑down traveling cycles inside hoistway. Selected surface treatment should be evaluated under real‑site flexing simulation conditions.
Validate Performance under Your Actual Installation Conditions
Passing lab sample electrical test is only the start of technical approval. Production‑simulation trials shall also check cable repeated bending fatigue, stripping‑termination behavior, shielding attenuation and long‑term suspended performance.
| On‑site Possible Issue | Points to Investigate | Trial Objective |
|---|---|---|
| Conductor breakage after millions of runs | Copper stranding class, steel reinforcement layout, suspension overload | Maintain conductor integrity under rated speed and suspension length |
| Signal loss, CCTV flicker, network packet loss | Shield structure, twisted pair pitch, core crosstalk, power‑data coupling | Stable transmission for CAT / coaxial / intercom signal during full travel |
| Difficult‑to‑strip or conductor damage during termination | Insulation‑sheath bonding property, material formula | Realize convenient stripping without scratching stranded copper conductors |
| Sheath crack or abrasion | Sheath mechanical property, shaft guide gap, bending radius | Keep sheath integrity after long‑term cyclic movement |
| Flame spread and heavy smoke in fire event | LSZH / flame retardant material formulation | Meet local fire and elevator safety code requirements |
| Marking wear‑off during transportation & long‑time flexing | Ink system, sheath surface friction property | Keep marking legible throughout delivery, installation and operation |
| Low temperature cracking | Sheath cold resistance grade | Remain flexible without cracking at minimum ambient temperature |
Easy‑Strip Termination & Composite Core Isolation Needs Performance Balance
Easy‑strip elevator traveling cable must keep complete insulation‑sheath integrity after millions of bending cycles, meanwhile allowing controllable stripping during elevator car connection operation. For composite cables integrating power + CAT6 + CCTV coaxial cores, isolation between power and signal cores is critical to avoid electromagnetic interference.
Approval assessment shall consider:
Initiation of stripping at termination position
Insulation separation performance without copper‑conductor scratching
Sheath crack risk during stripping
Shield continuity after termination
Performance change after long‑time cyclic bending.
Record test method, flex cycle count, temperature condition and stripping speed when comparing test results. Stripping‑force and attenuation values obtained under different conditions are not directly comparable.

Applications and Service Conditions
Elevator cables and lift traveling cables can be applied for passenger elevator, freight lift, dumbwaiter, villa home elevator, high‑speed elevator, elevator modernization & replacement, crane flat festoon cable and hoist mobile wiring.
Service environment matters greatly:
Normal commercial & residential passenger elevator: Evaluate repeated bending fatigue, easy termination and general flame retardant performance.
Public building / hospital / subway elevator: LSZH low smoke zero halogen construction is usually required for fire safety.
High‑rise & high‑speed elevator: Specify exact suspension length and traveling speed, select steel wire reinforced construction designed for heavy tensile load.
CCTV & network integrated elevator car: Shielded composite cable with CAT6 / RG59 cores to guarantee stable video and network signal.
Cold region outdoor shaft elevator: Cold resistant sheath formulation to avoid low temperature cracking.
Cable approved for low‑speed short suspension passenger elevator cannot be directly transferred to high‑speed, long‑suspension or LSZH fire‑rated projects without re‑validation.
Bulk Orders, Packing and Delivery Planning
To obtain comparable commercial offer, specify cable quantity for each model, core layout and each marking version.
Ask quotation to clarify below information:
Unit price and quotation basis (e.g. price per meter).
Minimum order quantity for each specification and marking.
Printing‑marking setup charges if applicable.
Sample or trial‑order requirements.
Production lead‑time after technical‑specification and marking‑artwork approval.
Packing method and delivery terms.
Packing shall protect cables from moisture, mechanical squeezing and sheath scratching. Drum/carton marking shall clearly distinguish cable model, core layout, specification, marking revision, total length and batch‑number.
Where feasible, evaluate comprehensive cost of finished elevator project together with purchase price. Premature cable fatigue breakage, signal interference, on‑site termination failure and elevator downtime will affect comprehensive value of cable‑material selection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Purchasing cables, many customers are concerned about the following issues
Q:Can one single elevator traveling cable adapt to normal shaft, LSZH fire‑rated and high‑speed long suspension conditions?
A:Only when selected insulation‑sheath and reinforcement system is specially designed and validated for those working conditions. Code and environment compatibility must be confirmed for specific cable construction and local elevator safety requirements.
Q:How do I select correct cable cross‑section, core number and core mix?
A:Refer to elevator motor power, control loop, CCTV / network requirement, elevator rated speed and free suspension length. Relying merely on elevator power is insufficient for final cable selection.
Q:What conductor cross‑section and core layout should I order?
A:If available, follow existing approved specification. Otherwise select candidate construction for sample evaluation, validate bending fatigue, electrical performance, signal attenuation and stripping‑termination performance. Distinguish conductor cross‑section from finished flat‑cable overall dimension.
Q:Can elevator cables carry custom brand marking and composite integrated power + CAT6 + CCTV cores?
A:Include marking content, core arrangement, number of specification versions and quantity per version in your inquiry. Composite core layout feasibility, shielding design, setup cost and minimum order quantity shall be confirmed for proposed order.
Q:What is the maximum allowable elevator speed and suspension length for each cable type?
A:No universal parameter applies to all cable sizes and constructions. Determine operation window based on selected cable reinforcement structure and actual hoist‑site conditions.
Q:Does easy‑strip elevator cable mean it can resist heavy mechanical abrasion arbitrarily?
A:Easy‑strip only describes termination‑stripping property. Do not assume easy‑strip cable can resist sharp friction or continuous heavy impact. If severe abrasion risk exists, discuss reinforced anti‑abrasion sheath construction solution.
Q:Can we get samples before bulk‑order placement?
A:Raise sample‑demand in your inquiry. Clarify whether you need construction‑test samples, marked samples, composite signal test samples or flexing‑simulation trial‑length. Sample form, availability, cost and lead‑time need confirmation.
