Product Description

Armouring wire is a soft, heavily galvanized steel wire used to reinforce electrical cables in power transmission, land-based, and submarine communication systems. It serves as a protective layer against mechanical damage such as crushing, impact, and abrasion in demanding environments. Produced primarily from low carbon steel, our armouring wire meets international standards. High carbon steel variants can also be manufactured to meet specific customer requirements for increased tensile strength and rigidity.
