Armored Cable in Texas

Texas is one of the largest states in America not just in terms of geography.  Texas is abundant with resources that help support and stimulate the entire world's economy.  It is a major oil producing state, a leader in terms of agriculture and scientific and military research.  Major cities such as Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and El Paso all require many types of electrical cable to operate each year.

One of the main types of electrical cable you will find in Texas is copper cable with aluminum armor.  Armored cables are offered in many styles, sizes and conductor counts.  These copper cable products are manufactured in aluminum interlocked armor, or AIA for short, continuous corrugated armor, or CLX, and Teck 90, or Teck armored cable. 

• Aluminum interlocked armor is simply copper cable covered with an aluminum armor that interlocks to give it extra mechanical protection.  This product is typically rated at 600 volts but can be foudnin higher voltages.  It is the most cost effective of the three armored cable items. 
• Continuous corrugated armor is armor that uses a continuously welded approach to the aluminum armor to make it impervious to moisture, liquids and gases.  This item is typically rated for hazardous locations and can be found in both power conductor styles and multi-paired shielded instrumentation versions for delivering signals. 
• Teck 90 or Teck Style armor uses aluminum interlocked armor like the AIA version but utilizes an inner PVC jacket under the armor and an outer PVC jacket.  This is a Canadian or CSA style cable but it is found very frequently in all parts of the USA including Texas.  The additional PVC jacket on the inside of the cable adds an extra layer of defense for the product.

All of these armored products are popular in Texas and are a staple to help maintain its supremacy as one of the nation's and world's economic leaders.
