Armored cable is a widely used wire and cable product, which is characterized by excellent protective performance and high-quality conductive performance. Armored cable can effectively isolate the materials and factors outside the wire and cable, making the wire and cable have higher safety and reliability during use. Below, we will introduce to you what is armored cable and the characteristics of armored cable.
1. What is armored cable? Armored cable is usually composed of one or more insulated conductors, insulation layer, metal sheath and other accessories. The metal sheath of armored cable can protect the cable from mechanical damage and environmental impact, and can also improve the fire resistance and electromagnetic shielding performance of the cable. The metal sheath of armored cable can be made of different materials, such as steel strip, steel wire, aluminum strip, etc. Different materials have different characteristics and uses.
2. Characteristics of armored cable
(1) The armor layer enhances the durability of the wire and cable: The armor layer of the armored cable is in the form of metal mesh and steel strip. This armor material is relatively tough and has high tensile strength, which increases the strength and durability of the wire and cable, thereby extending the service life of the wire and cable.
(2) Good protection performance: The armor layer, as the outer shell of the wire and cable, can isolate most of the external environment from the impact on the wire and cable, such as pressure resistance, earthquake resistance, rain resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. The influence of these external factors will slow down the degradation of the conductive performance of the wire and cable, allowing the armored cable to operate smoothly in harsh environments.
(3) High reliability: The outer armor material of the armored cable can effectively reduce the risk of loss and breakage of the wire and cable, ensuring that the operation of the wire and cable is safe and reliable.
In summary, the armor layer of the armored cable can increase the strength and durability of the wire and cable, improve the pressure resistance, protection, tensile strength and wear resistance of the wire and cable, and effectively prevent the wire and cable from being damaged by the external environment.
