Steel wire armored cables are primarily designed to withstand certain tensile forces and mechanical stresses, and are suitable for use indoors, in cable trenches, ducts, shafts, and underground.
Steel wire armored cables come in two types: fine wire armor and steel tape armor. Fine wire armored cables are suitable for short-distance overhead or vertical installations, while steel tape armored cables are primarily used for direct burial, ordinary conduit installations, installations on the ground, and tunnels.
Specific Application Scenarios:
Indoor: For indoor wiring, providing stable power and signal transmission.
Cable Trench: For wiring in cable trenches, capable of withstanding external pressure and tension.
Pipe: For installation in ducts, protecting the cable from damage.
In Shaft: For installation vertically in shafts, capable of withstanding vertical tension.
Underground: For underground cable installations, protecting the cable from impacts such as ground subsidence.
The Role of Steel Wire:
The steel wire in steel-wire armored cable plays a crucial role. Its main functions are as follows:
1. Cable Protection
Steel wire effectively protects the cable, reducing damage and failure caused by external factors. Whether during excavation and laying, or during use, external physical forces can damage the cable. Steel-wire armored cable protects the cable from these forces through the steel wire.
2. Withstand Tension
Steel-wire armored cable can withstand a certain amount of tension through its armor and transmit it to other connected equipment or systems, thus transmitting signals and energy. Under certain operating conditions, steel-wire armored cable can withstand high tension, preventing production accidents caused by cable failure.
Types and Features:
PVC-insulated fine-wire armored cable: Suitable for withstanding certain tensile and mechanical forces.
Steel-belt armored cable: Mainly used for direct burial, ordinary conduit, ordinary ground, tunnel, and other installations.
Fine steel-wire armored cable: Suitable for short-distance overhead installation or vertical installation, capable of withstanding normal longitudinal tension.
