Flexible PVC multi-core flat electrical elevator lift cables are the industry-standard travel cable for passenger and goods lifts operating at speeds up to 2.5 m/s in commercial and residential buildings. The flat construction ensures orderly cable management in the lift shaft without tangling or interfering with counterweight guide rails, while PVC insulation and sheath materials provide cost-effective performance in the controlled temperature environment of a building lift shaft.
Constructed with fine-wire stranded copper conductors and a flexible PVC sheath, these cables are available in combined configurations carrying power (typically 3-phase 400V or single-phase 230V), control signals (up to 50 control cores), and optional data pairs — all in a single flat cable to simplify installation and reduce shaft clutter. Rated 300/500V; temperature ‑20°C to +70°C; 12 to 60 cores.

Count all power cores (L1, L2, L3, N, PE), all control inputs/outputs (door contacts, safety circuits, buttons, indicators), and all data pairs (intercom, IP camera). Add 20% spare cores for future modifications. A standard 20-stop passenger lift typically requires 40–55 cores total.
PVC lift cables are suitable for standard commercial buildings. For high-speed lifts (>2.5 m/s), extreme ambient temperatures, or special fire performance requirements, rubber or PUR lift cables are recommended.
