Aramid fibers are the most common material used for the reinforcing core. These fibers, such as Kevlar®, are extremely strong yet lightweight, non-conductive, and resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for both aerial and underground installations. They absorb tensile stress during cable installation and prevent stretching or breaking of the glass fibers inside the cable, ensuring long-term durability and reliability . Steel rods or wires are sometimes used in outdoor or armored cables where additional mechanical protection is required. Steel provides high tensile strength and crush resistance but adds weight and is conductive, so it is often combined with dielectric materials in sensitive installations . Fiberglass rods (FRP – Fiber Reinforced Plastic) are another option for reinforcement, offering a balance between strength, lightweight properties, and non-conductivity. These are often used in all-dielectric cables where electrical insulation is critical .
Reinforcing materials can be placed in two main ways:
