Prysmian was involved in the early stages of electrical wiring planning for elevator systems. Custom elevator travel and hoistway cables are developed to meet the specific needs of the project.

The fastest high-rise elevators in central Shanghai can reach speeds of 20.5 meters per second or 45.8 miles per hour. To reach those speeds, however, Mitsubishi technicians needed to be present to push the proverbial red button and send the elevator into the hyperdrive.
