# CAT6Flat by Channeltech — cat6flat.com

> CAT6Flat is the range of flat elevator cables for CCTV and intercom in lifts, made by Channeltech Systems Pvt Ltd (India, est. 1985, plant at Vapi, Gujarat; office in Mumbai). They are flat, flexible, FRLS (flame retardant, low smoke) travelling cables for IP cameras, HD cameras and intercoms, not only the lift's own travelling cable. Used in lift wells (also called lift shafts) and lift cabins (also called cars). The hero product is CAT6 Flat 4 Pair (CC-8251G-90). Channeltech was the first in India to make a flat 2+2 lift cable for HD cameras. Sold through Channeltech and WIAN dealers in India; exported from Mumbai on FOB or EXW terms. Four part codes, supplied as a 180 m continuous coil (90 + 90 m; cut to 90 m on request; 200-500 m rolls on special request). Approved by leading lift OEMs.

- 2+2 Flat, CC-9511K-90 (first of its kind in India, by Channeltech) — HD-TVI / AHD / CVI / analog camera on a DVR: two tinned-copper video cores + two copper power cores, black FRLS jacket. https://www.cat6flat.com/cables/2-plus-2-flat-hd-camera

## Key facts
- Round solid-core CAT6 fails in a lift loop: solid copper work-hardens at the flex point. Use stranded, flat, FRLS cable for the moving section; round CAT6 only for the fixed run from the junction box to the NVR.
- Cable length: loop ≈ travel height ÷ 2 + 3 m when fixed mid-height (travel + 3 m if fixed at the top of the lift well); add 10 % slack; each lift is cut from the coil as one piece; order in 180 m coils. Calculator (enter lifts and floors, e.g. G+12): https://www.cat6flat.com/choose
- Use RJ45 plugs rated for stranded conductors; cushioned clamps, never tight cable ties; no joints inside the moving loop.
