Encoder Cable with Individually Screened Pairs
Twisted pairs, individual screens and a low-capacitance dielectric for clean feedback.
View constructionFlexible, flame-retardant feedback cable for travelling and hoisting applications.
An elevator travel cable follows the car up and down thousands of times a year, in a shaft where a failure is a safety event rather than a production stoppage. The construction therefore prioritises a reliable screen at the ends of the travel, a jacket that does not harden with age, and flame-retardant behaviour that meets the standards the installation is assessed against.
Shaft runs commonly need the encoder pairs plus inspection and door signals, so we build high core counts into one flexible jacket with individually screened encoder pairs separated from the control cores. Lengths are cut to the shaft travel with the tolerance the installation needs, and identification printing can follow the site's own numbering.

This construction is supplied into the following installations. Tell us which one applies and we will confirm the governing requirement.
Core count and cross-section, screen arrangement, sheath compound and colour, print legend, length and termination are all built to order. Send the requirement — including the failed OEM part if this is a replacement — and we will propose the construction and confirm the lead time.
