Armored cables are key to providing strong, long-lasting power transmission, especially in environments where protection from physical damage is required. These cables are protected from external threats by an outer layer of metal or other durable material, which protects the conductors and insulation inside the cable.

What is Armoured Cable?

An Armoured Cable is a power cable that has a metal or other durable material sheath that surrounds the core of the cable, protecting the conductors from external damage and ensuring that power systems continue to operate safely in harsh environments. Armoured cables are designed to withstand harsh conditions and provide a high level of protection against mechanical, environmental and chemical risks.

Key Components of Armoured Cable

  • Core

The core is the main conductor of the cable, responsible for carrying the current or signal. The core is usually made of copper, aluminium or other conductive material.

  • Insulation

The insulation is wrapped around the core to prevent current leakage and protect the core from external environmental influences such as moisture and heat.

  • Shielding (optional)

Additional shielding is used to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), improve signal integrity and reduce potential interference.

  • Outer sheath

The outer sheath is wrapped around the insulation or shielding layer to provide additional mechanical protection against abrasion, impact and chemical corrosion.

  • Armor layer

The outermost layer of the armored cable, usually made of steel, aluminum or other strong materials, provides high-strength mechanical protection to prevent the cable from external physical damage such as extrusion, shearing and impact.


Types of armored cables

  • Steel belt armored cable

Uses steel belt as the armor layer to provide excellent compressive and tensile strength.

  • Fine steel wire armored cable

Uses fine steel wire woven into a mesh structure with good flexibility and wear resistance, suitable for occasions requiring more bending and movement.

  • Thick steel wire armored cable

Uses thick steel wire as the armor layer to provide stronger mechanical protection and is suitable for extreme environments.
