ELEVATOR NETWORK TRANSMISSION SOLUTION
Wired internet connectivity in elevators can be a challenging task due to the vertical movement of the
elevator, which causes physical strain on the Ethernet cables. As the elevator moves up and down, the
cables are subjected to bending, twisting, and stretching, which can cause signal loss, disruptions, and
even breakage.
Ethernet Extender Solution
An Ethernet extender solution can help overcome these
challenges by enabling the Ethernet signal to travel
over longer distances without degradation or loss. This
solution can transmit network signals using any 2-wire
cable in the traveling cable, eliminating the need for
additional wiring and saving on labour and cable costs.
By utilising an Ethernet extender solution, the signal can
be transmitted from the elevator car to the building's
network switch or router without degradation, ensuring
reliable and uninterrupted internet connectivity. This
is especially important if you want real-time content
updates.
In order to set up an Ethernet extender solution in an
elevator, two Ethernet extenders are typically needed.
One extender is installed in the elevator machine room
where the internet connection is located, while the
other extender is installed in or on the elevator cabin
itself. The two extenders can be connected using any
2-wire cable available in the traveling cable, making
installation quick and convenient.
When it comes to installing the Ethernet extender in the elevator cabin, a useful location is inside the
car operating panel, providing easy access for maintenance and troubleshooting. Additionally, this
location helps to keep the Ethernet extender out of sight and secure from unauthorised access.
It's worth noting that the specific location of the Ethernet extender in the elevator cabin may vary
depending on the design of the elevator and the preferences of the installer. We can optionally
supply our screens with these Ethernet extenders.
It's always a good idea to consult with a certified installer to ensure that the Ethernet extender is
installed in the most appropriate location for your specific elevator system.
