Flat cables offer specific advantages over round cables for elevator applications, according to industry sources.
Key Advantages:
Space Efficiency: Flat cables require less space, allowing for more compact installations in the hoistway.
Smaller Bending Radius: Flat cables can bend more tightly without damage, enabling more flexible routing.
Less Susceptibility to Tangling: Flat cables are less likely to tangle during travel compared to round cables.
