Armoured cables.

Applications

Armoured cables are designed to offer enhanced mechanical protection, performance, reliability, and safety, making them ideal for several applications:

1. Underground Laying: Due to their heavy, rigid, and inflexible nature, armoured cables are well-suited for underground installations where they can withstand physical impacts and wear.
2. High-Tensile Strength Applications: The metallic shield provides tensile strength, making these cables suitable for situations that require robust cable laying operations.
3. Environments Prone to Physical Impacts: Armoured cables protect conductors from physical impacts, ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions.
4. Infrastructure Projects: Commonly used in infrastructure projects where the cables need to be laid straight and require long-term durability and safety.

Armoured cables are constructed using multi-core cables with solid or stranded plain copper conductors. They feature PVC insulation, twisted cores, extruded PVC bedding, galvanized steel wire armouring, and PVC sheathing in accordance with BS 6346 and KS 04-194 standards. Proper handling and adherence to bending rules are crucial during installation to prevent damage and ensure optimal performance.
