When thermocouple cables are installed outdoors or underground, they are exposed to multiple mechanical risks such as crushing loads, construction damage, and rodent attacks. Our Armored thermocouple cable is designed to address these conditions. A steel tape armor layer is applied over the standard compensating wire construction. This armor provides high mechanical strength, absorbing external impact and resisting pressure, while protecting the inner conductors and insulation system. As a result, temperature signal transmission remains stable even in harsh installation environments.
Two Separate Layers for Two Different Functions
The armor layer and the shielding layer serve different purposes and operate independently. The inner shielding layer is designed for electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. It consists of aluminum foil shielding on each pair combined with an overall tinned copper braid, ensuring stable and accurate temperature signal transmission.
The outer steel tape armor is designed for mechanical protection. It prevents physical damage caused by impact, compression, or rodent activity. These two systems do not interfere with each other and work together to ensure both electrical performance and mechanical durability.
For installation, the minimum bending radius of the armored structure should be at least 12 times the cable diameter. Proper installation planning is required to ensure safe routing.
The outer jacket is made of weather-resistant PVC, offering resistance to oil, corrosion, UV exposure, and aging. This ensures reliable long-term performance in outdoor and underground applications.
During production, the steel tape overlap and tension are carefully controlled to ensure consistent armor strength without damaging the inner cable structure. Each production batch undergoes full electrical and visual inspection to ensure compliance with quality requirements.
Our products comply with IEC 60584-3 standards. Common armored models such as KX22, KC22, SX22, SC22, and TX22 are available from stock. Non-standard configurations and customized specifications are also supported. For export shipments, moisture-resistant packaging is used to ensure safe transportation over long distances.
