Lightweight, non-magnetic aluminum strip designed for power cable protection, offering excellent corrosion resistance and long service life.
Aluminum strip (Aluminum Strip) is a core material in modern cable armoring systems, widely used in the manufacturing of mechanical protection layers for power cables, communication cables, and industrial control cables. This material forms a continuous, dense metal protective layer, providing reliable structural reinforcement and external protection for cables.
In armored cable structures, aluminum strip is mainly used to build the outer mechanical protection barrier, which can effectively resist external pressure, impact, and abrasion, while also blocking moisture intrusion and reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) affecting signal transmission. Its non-magnetic characteristics give it significant advantages in high-voltage power transmission and sensitive communication systems.
Compared with traditional steel tape armoring materials, aluminum alloy strip offers lighter weight, superior corrosion resistance, and better formability, which can significantly improve cable installation efficiency and reduce the overall system weight.

The most commonly used alloys belong to the 5000 series, including 5052, 5154, and 5154A. These grades are known for their high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. In addition, 1000 series alloys (such as 1050 and 1060) are also commonly used in applications where relatively lower mechanical performance requirements are needed.
