Travelling cable clamp assembly, an elevator arrangement, and a method

A travelling cable clamp assembly fixing an elevator travelling cable to a fixing base, such as to a first movable support structure in the hoistway for supporting said at least one elevator unit movable in the hoistway, including at least an elevator car, said elevator being installed in a building and applicable to passenger transport and/or freight transport during the manufacture of an elevator, which assembly comprises:

• a travelling cable, whose width is larger than its thickness in a cable transverse direction, comprising an insulating jacket with a first planar surface and a second planar surface, conductors for transmitting electrical energy and data between the elevator car and the fixing base, and one or more load-bearing elements of essentially the length of the travelling cable for fixing the travelling cable at its first end to the elevator car and at its second end to the fixing base,
• a first plate element being in touch with the first planar surface of the insulating jacket,
• a second plate element being in touch with the second planar surface of the insulating jacket,
• wherein the travelling cable clamp assembly comprises a gap through which said travelling cable passes and in which gap said travelling cable is arranged to be locked in its position between the first plate element and the second plate element by pressing said first and second plate elements to the edges of the travelling cable directly over the load-bearing elements inside the insulating jacket without cutting open the insulation jacket.
