What is single core armored cable?

Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Unarmored electrical cable has no protective flexible steel covering, its covering is made of plastic. <><><> Armored cable (BX) is the older version of Metal Clad cable (MC). It was flexible steel covered wire that used the steel as it's Ground. BX was a poor grounding system so it was replaced with MC which looks similar but has a separate Grounding conductor. MC is most often made with aluminum as its cover. Armored cable if used today will refer to MC type wiring. <><><> Some kinds of armored cable are in fact made to a tougher standard than the ordinary soft wire strand types of shielded cable that are used for hooking-up antennas. The 'armor' is actually a thin flexible metal film that better protects the wire or wires inside from damage in high use or high traffic areas. Such kinds of armored cable are also used in radio frequency assemblies in electronic equipment.
