Armored Cables
Armored Cables - Robust, Reliable, Non-flammable
About
HFCL’s armored cables offer reliable protection against rodents, preventing damage to the cable ensuring their functionality and longevity in underground environments. Available in six variants, they provide high tensile strength and crush resistance, meeting global metallic and dielectric build standards. Choose from unique or multitube designs with options like corrugated steel tape or FRP for superior protection. Swift and cost-effective to install, they eliminate the need for rigid conduit pipes, ensuring maximum resistance to crushing, cutting, and wear. It is ideal for underground burial, backbone networks, and feeder systems.

Variants
- Glass Yarn Armored Cables
An enhanced version of underground duct cables, featuring glass yarn dielectric armor for both unitube and multitube constructions, providing improved protection against rodents
- FRP Armored Cables
Durable FRP armor envelops the core, ensuring rodent resistance and making these optical fiber cables suitable for both underground direct burial and ADSS applications
- Steel Tape Armored Cables
Corrugated steel tape armoring is provided in both unitube and multitube constructions for single and double sheath cables. This enhances the crush resistance and tensile performance of the cable. This optical fiber cable is widely used for direct burial applications
- Steel Wire Armored Cables
This optical fiber cable features metallic steel wire armor over the core, delivering robustness in terms of high tensile performance and crush resistance. Thus, making it ideal for machine pulling during installation
- Spiral Armored Cables
Spiral armor shields tight-buffered fibers, allowing these optical fiber cables to maintain a slender profile, offering exceptional flexibility. This makes them well-suited for riser applications in telecom towers
- Ribbon Armored Cables
We offer high fiber counts above 96 fibers based on customer requirements. These optical fiber cables are available in ribbon construction, which simplifies the splicing process. With ribbon construction, all fibers within the ribbon are spliced simultaneously, saving time and effort compared to individual fiber splicing
FAQs
Armored cables play a crucial role in network infrastructure by providing enhanced protection against physical damage, environmental factors, and rodent interference.
Armored cables are recommended in scenarios where additional protection against mechanical stress, harsh weather conditions, or potential physical damage is required. This includes outdoor installations, industrial settings, and areas prone to environmental challenges.
While armored cables are designed for durability, they can still be damaged under extreme conditions. Damages may affect their protective capabilities, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and prompt repairs to maintain optimal performance.
