Elevator Traveling Cable 4 Core Fiber 2 Copper Wire Hybrid

Elevators demand cables that can move thousands of times a day without failure. The DConnect Hybrid Elevator Traveling Cable is designed with robust fibre and copper cores, reinforced for flexibility, wear resistance, and long-term reliability in vertical motion environments. This is not your standard travelling cable, but rather a hybrid solution that combines high-speed fibre optics for data transmission with durable copper conductors for power delivery. 

DConnect’s Elevator Travelling Cable is a hybrid solution with 4-core fibre and 2-core copper, engineered for seamless data, monitoring, and power transmission while offering high flexibility and strong mechanical durability. 

The cable uses multiple φ900μm tight-buffered optical fibres as the optical transmission medium, and two metal wires are added as the load-bearing element. The metal wires provide the strength to the cable required during the travelling process and the unexpected tension during the installation process. 

As an Elevator Traveling Cable 4 Core Fibre 2 Copper Wire Hybrid Supplier in the UAE, this optical cable meets the requirements of the elevator: soft and wear-resistant. It can be used to lift the car and the motor room with excellent reliability. Also, it moves up and down along with the lift car to transmit data and monitoring signals. 

Key features 

  • Supplies low-voltage power and high-speed data to devices such as cameras, sensors, wireless access points, phones, and monitors.
  • Built with 900μm tight-buffered optical fibres for easier handling and simplified routing during installation.
  • Soft yet wear-resistant fibres deliver strong mechanical protection and a long operational life.
  • Designed for continuous vertical movement, the fibres maintain performance under repeated bending.
  • SmartArt numbering system allows customisation with specific conductor counts, fibre strands, colours, and lengths.
  • Hybrid cable replaces multiple separate runs, minimising labour and cable pulls.
  • One hybrid cable reduces inventory complexity compared to managing separate power and data cables.
  • Corrosion-resistant, UV-stable, flame-retardant outer jacket improves safety and longevity.
  • Optical fibre ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) for reliable data transmission.
