Armored cable is used in environments such as a front yard where environmental conditions make an armored cable susceptible to damage.

If the question is asking about Shielded/Screened cable, that has a small thin metal foil wrapping that is used to "screen out" most external signal noise from the cable.

What is the difference in armoured and unarmoured cables?

Which type of cables you use in construction armoured or unarmoured give detail?

If it is being run thought walls in your house you would use unarmored because the wall in providing your mechanical protection. If it were being run on the face of a wall you might want armored because then there is protection for the conductors in side.


What is the difference between armoured unarmoured and flexible cables?

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.


What are uses of armoured cables?

Armored cables are generally used to protect cables from mechanical damage, normally when they are buried.One of the first uses of armored cable was actually the trans-Atlantic telegraph line between the UK and US. This was a sea cable that had to withstand the pressures of the depth as well as support its own free weight during installation. Additionally it had to protect the telegraph wire inside from mechanical abrasion against rocks due to underwater currents.More commonly nowadays, these types of cable are used to protect high and low voltage subterranean power cables and fiber optic cables


Can conductive materials used for hanging amored cables?

Conductive materials are generally not suitable for hanging armored cables, as they can pose safety hazards such as electrical shorts or shocks if the cable insulation is compromised. Instead, non-conductive materials like plastic or nylon are preferred for support structures to ensure safety and integrity. Additionally, using appropriate mounting hardware designed for armored cables helps maintain their protective features and prevents damage.

What is armored cable made from?

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.
