Hinges with integrated electric cable
09 October 2025
ELESA'S CFM-PC hinge in UL-94 V0 self-extinguishing technopolymer integrates the mechanical function of a standard hinge with the ability to transmit electrical current from a jamb to the attached door.

The UL-94 V0 certification confirms that the material, when subjected to a vertical burn test, extinguishes within 10 seconds without producing flaming drips. This ensures a high level of safety in case of accidental exposure to heat sources or open flames – an essential requirement for applications in industrial environments, laboratories, or portable equipment where protection against fire hazards is critical.
The CFM-PC hinge eliminates the presence of visible and unaesthetic cables or cable-gland “bridges”, as well as protecting cables during door or structure movement, ensuring they do not get damaged or caught on any obstacles. The compact size, various mounting and cable output options aid easy to installation. The 8-pin cable allows the user to interface with various devices such as light points, electric locks, and any handles with electrical switch.
Featuring an EBR-SWM handle with monostable electrical switch or EBR-SWB handle with bistable electrical switch, the CFM-PC hinge can be combined with one or more complementary hinges CFM-PCN or handles with electrical switch EBR-SWM, EBR-SWB and M.2000-SWM. In case of horizontal door opening or of a limited weight it is possible to use one hinge only. A complementary hinge is available in SUPER-technopolymer (CFM-PCN) and in self-extinguishing certified technopolymer (CFM-PCN-AE-V0).
Standard executions areavailable in two versions: SH: with pass-through holes for countersunk head screws, and with nickel-plated brass bushings and threaded hole.
