What are the Different Types of Armored Cables?

Apr. 28, 2026

Cable armoring is used to protect cables from external damage, mechanical pressure, and corrosion. Haomei offers high-quality aluminum and copper armor to meet the needs of global transformer and cable manufacturers.

Types of Cable Armoring

Cable armoring is part of the cable, used to enhance the mechanical protection of the cable and prevent physical damage caused by the external environment. Depending on different requirements, there are various materials for cable armoring.

Armoring Type Main Material Magnetic Compressive Strength
Aluminum Alloy Tape Aluminum Alloy Non-Magnetic Medium
Copper Tape Electrolytic Copper Non-Magnetic Medium
Steel Tape Galvanized Steel Magnetic High
Stainless Steel SS304/316 Weak/Non-Magnetic Extremely High
Non-Metallic High-Strength Fiber Non-Magnetic Low (High Tensile)

Aluminum/Aluminum Alloy Armoring

Aluminum/aluminum alloy armoring is widely used in environments requiring lightweight, high conductivity, and corrosion resistance. They are commonly used in transformers and cables in power transmission systems.

Armored Copper Tape

Armored copper tape is widely applied in the power and communication fields where high efficiency and reliability are required, due to its excellent conductivity and durability.

Steel Tape Armoring

Steel tape armoring offers strong mechanical strength and is commonly used in cables that require high impact protection, suitable for heavy industrial and construction projects.

Stainless Steel Armoring

Stainless steel armoring provides excellent corrosion resistance and is ideal for harsh environments such as marine and chemical processing.

Non-metallic Armoring

Non-metallic armoring is typically used in lightweight cables, offering a certain degree of protection while avoiding corrosion issues associated with metal materials.
