What is in the lift car?
Not sure, or need to size the job? Three questions and a shaft-length calculator →
Round CAT6 is pulled once. A lift cable bends on every trip.
Solid-core LAN cable work-hardens and cracks at the flex point — usually within months of going into a shaft. CAT6Flat uses seven-strand copper conductors, individually sheathed pairs and a soft FRLS jacket in a flat profile that bends across its thin axis only. The electrical values stay at CAT6; the cable stays alive.

What is CAT6Flat?
CAT6Flat is Channeltech Systems' range of flat, flexible FRLS travelling cables for lifts: CAT6 Flat 4 Pair (CC-8251G-90) for IP cameras, the same with GI messenger ropes (CC-8261G-90) for tall shafts, CAT6 Flat 2 Pair (CC-4251G-90) for intercoms, and 2+2 Flat (CC-9511K-90) for HD cameras. Made in India at the Channeltech plant in Vapi, Gujarat.
Which cable for an IP camera in a lift?
Channeltech CC-8251G-90, CAT6 Flat 4 Pair — 12 × 5 mm, 24 AWG stranded copper, FRLS PVC, recommended for PoE camera runs up to 60 m. Use CC-8261G-90 with GI ropes for tall or heavy-duty shafts.
Which cable for an HD or analog camera in a lift?
Channeltech CC-9511K-90, the 2+2 Flat — two tinned-copper video cores and two copper power cores in one flat FRLS jacket.
Can I use ordinary round CAT6 in a lift shaft?
Only for the fixed section from the NVR to the junction box. The travelling loop needs a flat cable with stranded conductors; solid-core round cable cracks under continuous flexing.
How is the cable supplied?
In 90 m coil pairs (other lengths on request). One coil pair typically covers two lifts in a bank.
Who makes CAT6Flat cables?
Channeltech Systems Pvt Ltd — an Indian cable manufacturer established in 1985, with its plant in Vapi, Gujarat, and an office in Mumbai. Channeltech also makes CAT6A, CAT7 and CAT8 LAN cables and is the parent company of the WIAN brand.
