Elevator and Hoistway Cable
Elevator and hoistway cables are what connect the elevator car and controller. They are strong steel cables that are made up of a number flexible steel wires. The hoistway is the fire-resistant shaft that surrounds the elevator. This cable must be dependable as it is used continually and must last for a long time. They usually last for 20 years. The cable uses a steel support member for minimum strain on copper conductors. Its flexibility depends on the insulation and construction techniques. The cables can come in flat or round constructions.
Hoistway cables are strong steel cables that are made up of a number flexible steel wires. The hoistway is the fire-resistant shaft that surrounds the elevator.

Building Wire
We supply many specifications of building wire including part numbers CID A-A-59544, A-A-59551 and A-A-59569. Each element of the building wire is represented by the part number. They begin with the military spec, followed by the UL type and codes which represent the cable’s maximum working voltage, conductor material, type of conductor, number and size, type of insulation, outer covering, ground wire and color code of conductor.
A-A-59544 is commonly used in commercial buildings and fixed installations and comes in a wide range of materials and constructions.
A-A-59551 is composed of pure electrolytic soft drawn, solid copper. Tinned copper bus bar falls under this part number and can be used for point-to-point wiring, ground wire applications and antennas.
