An armored optical cable is a type of fiber optic cable reinforced with a protective layer—usually corrugated steel tape (STA) or steel wires (SWA) —to shield the internal fibers from external threats such as crushing, rodent bites, moisture, and harsh installation conditions. This Cable Jacket Selection Note is intended to provide the reader with an organized selection methodology when selecting the optimum optical cable for a specific application. Sheath issues discussed: single jacket versus dual jacket, armored versus unarmored, and metallic versus dielectric. Executive Summary: Both armored and unarmored fiber optic cables transmit light signals at near-speed-of-light speeds. Armored cables appear stronger, non-armored cables are cheaper. With a durable protective layer, they are ideal for harsh or high-traffic environments.
