Armored cables feature metal armor for mechanical protection, rodent resistance and EMI shielding, suitable for power delivery, signal control and temperature sensing.

 

Common Applications

  1. Direct burial under roads, railways, tunnels and rocky ground. Steel tape armor (22/23) resists compression and impact.
  2. Vertical shafts, underwater and long-span overhead layouts. Steel wire armor (32/42) handles heavy tension.
  3. Harsh sites: mines, chemical plants, metallurgy and ports, resisting vibration, corrosion and rodent bites.
  4. Urban grid & factory power mains, avoiding cable damage during construction and operation.
  5. Railway & automation signal lines, blocking low-frequency interference for steady signals.
  6. Thermocouple compensation wires for high-temperature, high-pressure industrial temperature measurement.
  7. Special projects: explosion-proof mining cables, anti-corrosion offshore cables, underground building distribution lines.

 

Quick Selection Guide

  • Steel tape armor (22/23): Pressure-resistant, for buried/trunk installation
  • Steel wire armor (32/42): Tension-resistant, for vertical & underwater laying
