armored and unarmored cable

Huatong Cable would like to introduce you to two main types of cables: armored and unarmored! These cables are found in just about every place imaginable, from power plants where electricity is generated, to office buildings where we work day after day. There are pros and cons to both styles of cables. So, let’s get right into each type and learn more about what makes each special!

Unlike most electrical cable, armored cable has a solid metal wrap encasing it. So the cable is pretty tough and hard to break, thanks to the metal layer, which is very crucial in places where things get badly damaged. Unarmored cable, on the other hand, does not come with a metal coating. This makes it lighter and more flexible, enabling it to bend and twist easily in the necessary moments. For these reasons, armored cable is utilized in areas where there is a risk of damage, and unarmored cable is used in regular environments where it is less likely.

Beneficios e inconvenientes

So, let’s discuss the positives of armored cable. This type of cable offers one of its best attributes: they are very difficult to break or wear out. That makes it ideal for harsh environments, including factories or outdoor areas where equipment might be hit, or scratched. But there is a downside to this as well. Because it is heavy, bulky, and tangled, armored cable can be cumbersome to install. This can lead to longer and more expensive installation costs.

Now let’s take a peek at unarmored cable. One of the best attributes of unarmored cable is that it is very light and easy to carry and workplace. It comes in especially handy for projects that need doing fast. The disadvantage, though, is that unarmored cable lacks the strength of armored campaign. Since it has no protective metal coating, it doesn't perform as well in exposing places where it can become damaged, which makes it unsuitable for rugged environments.
