The main difference between armoured cable and unarmoured cable lies in their construction, classification, scope of application, and purpose.
Different constructions: armoured cable are cables that use armor technology in the production process, which means that conductors of different materials are threaded through metal sleeves and can be bent during use. unarmoured cable are made of multiple insulated conductors and insulation protective layers, mainly used for power transmission.
Different classifications:armoured cable can be subdivided into three types: steel strip, fine steel wire, and coarse steel wire. unarmoured cable include various types such as flame-retardant rubber sleeves, power, communication, optical fibers, etc.
Different scope of application: Due to the metal layer on the surface of armoured cable, they are suitable for underground use and can resist damage and destruction from external mechanical forces. They also have the function of preventing rodents and termites from biting.unarmoured cable, due to the lack of reinforcement layers, are generally not used for burial underground, but are suitable for various other purposes such as television, electronics, fiber optics, etc.
Different uses: armoured cable, due to their mechanical protective layer, can be stacked onto cables of any structure to increase strength and prevent cable erosion, making them particularly suitable for direct burial in rock areas. unarmoured cable are mainly used for power transmission and other electronic devices.
In summary, armoured cable are more robust in construction and are suitable for applications that require resistance to external damage and buried use; And unarmoured cable are more suitable for power transmission and other applications of lightweight electronic devices.
