Haomei apply aluminum strip for cable armouring mainly on cable shielding and armor jacket. We specialize in different alloys, different thickness of aluminum materials to meet the special needs of coaxial cables, communication cables, high voltage and extra high voltage cables, etc.

Heomei aluminum strip is ideal for manufacturing metal sheathing for electrical cables, both for construction and industrial markets. With its combination of strength, flexibility, and light weight, aluminum strip is perfect for use on armoring equipment manufacturer’s high-speed machines.

General Specification of aluminum strip for cable armouring

Alloy	Temper	Specification(mm)
		Thickness	Width	Coil ID
5052, 5154, 5754, 1060, 1070	H32	0.5-0.9	9.5, 12.7, 19, 25.4	150, 300

 
The aluminum strip for armored cable is mainly used in the armor layer of the aluminum alloy armored cable, and the armor layer is divided into a metal strip layer and a metal wire layer. The armored aluminum strip we are talking about is an armored metal strip. The armored aluminum tape is armored to the cable and the optical cable through the armoring machine, thereby manufacturing the armored cable and the armored optical cable. The armored power cable is used to prevent the cable from receiving mechanical damage. The power cable with metal protective layer is installed on the outer layer of the cable.
 
Haomei aluminum armored cable aluminum strip is mostly made of 5000 series aluminum strip. The commonly used grade is 5052 aluminum strip for armor cables.

The effect of the armored aluminum strip in armored cable are:

1. Because the armored cables are generally laid on the ground or the ground surface, and the armor layer can be used to prevent external mechanical damage during installation and operation, as well as shielding and grounding;
2. The armor layer can protect the entire power cable structure and prevent various pests such as termites and mice;
3. The armor layer of the armored cable has strong tensile strength and can also play a mechanical protection role;
4. The armor layer of the armored cable can protect the core inside, prevent the insulation from being damaged due to external force, and affect the normal use of the cable.

Features of armored cable aluminum strip are:

1, Built with state-of-the-art rolling mills, advanced control systems, and specialized coiling technology
2, Recommended by armoring equipment manufacturers
3, It plays a vital role in power, communication stability and security. More and more large-scale minerals, underground and submarine are buried in armored cables, and armored aluminum strips are being widely used in armored layers.
4, The armored cable aluminium strip effectively carries the external pressure, protects the cable, the inner lining of the cable and the internal structure, so that the cable reduces the electric corrosion and insect corrosion, and prolongs the service life of the cable and the optical cable.
