2 Product Overview
The Flat Elevator Traveling Cable TVVB is a specialised flat cable designed for power supply, control, communication, and signal transmission in elevator and lift systems. Manufactured to IEC 60227-6 and EN 50214, these cables feature a flat parallel or intertwined core arrangement that allows continuous flexing within the confined space of elevator shafts.
A defining characteristic of the TVVB series is the integrated steel bearing ropes embedded within the flat profile. These galvanised steel ropes carry the self-weight of the vertical cable run, preventing tensile stress on the copper conductors and ensuring reliable signal transmission over extended suspension heights. Without steel rope reinforcement, the conductor strands would stretch under their own weight, leading to signal interruption and premature cable failure.
The cable is available in multiple variants to suit different performance requirements: TVVB (parallel flat) for standard lifts, TVVBY (intertwisted) for higher suspension heights and faster lift speeds, TVVBP (shielded) for electromagnetic protection of sensitive signals, and TVVBPG (shielded with integrated ground conductor). Core counts range from 4 to 66 cores in 0.75 mm² and 1.0 mm² conductor sizes.
At SORIVO, every TVVB cable is manufactured under strict quality control with full electrical testing before shipment. For detailed company information, please visit sorivocable.com/about-us/.
3 Key Features
Steel Rope Reinforced
Integrated galvanised steel bearing ropes carry the cable self-weight, prevent conductor stretching, and ensure reliable operation in vertical elevator shaft installations.
Flat Compact Design
Thin profile of 4.2–8.4 mm allows tight bending and easy installation within the narrow clearance of elevator shafts and guide rails.
Multi-Core Configurations
Available from 24 to 66 cores to accommodate control, signal, communication, video, and power circuits in a single flat cable assembly.
Flame Retardant Sheath
PVC compound meets IEC 60332-1 flame retardance, essential for compliance with building safety codes and fire protection regulations.
Versatile Variants
TVVB unshielded, TVVBP shielded (EMI protection), and TVVBPG shielded with ground conductor provide flexibility for different electrical environments.
Oil & Abrasion Resistant
Special PVC outer sheath withstands exposure to elevator shaft lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and mechanical wear during cable flexing.
EN 50214 / IEC 60227-6 Compliant
Meets European and international elevator cable standards, ensuring compatibility with global lift system requirements and regulatory approvals.
Long Suspension Capability
Up to 80 m suspension height with intertwined TVVBY design, enabling safe and reliable operation in high-rise building elevator systems.
4 Applications
The TVVB flat elevator traveling cable is suitable for a wide range of vertical transportation systems and building applications:
5 FAQ
What is the difference between TVVB (parallel) and TVVBY (intertwisted) cables?
TVVB parallel cables are suitable for lifts up to 35 m suspension height at 1.6 m/s. TVVBY intertwined cables have a twisted core arrangement for up to 80 m suspension height and speeds up to 4 m/s, making them ideal for high-rise building elevators.
Why do elevator traveling cables need steel rope reinforcement?
Steel bearing ropes carry the self-weight of the long vertical cable run, preventing conductor strain and signal interruption. This is critical in high-rise elevator shafts where cables can weigh tens of kilograms.
What is the difference between shielded (TVVBP) and unshielded (TVVB) cables?
TVVBP includes a braided copper shield that provides EMI/RFI protection for sensitive communication signals (video, data, intercom). TVVB is suitable for general power and control without EMC concerns.
Can these cables be used in high-temperature environments?
Standard TVVB cables are rated -15°C to +70°C conductor temperature. For elevator machine rooms or shaft environments above 70°C, special high-temperature variants can be manufactured upon request.
What certifications are required for elevator cables in different markets?
CCC certification is required for China, CE/EN 50214 for Europe, and UL listing for North America. Our TVVB cables carry CCC and CE as standard. UL variants are available for the US market.
