ARMOURING FOR COPPER CABLES

Metallic armour are used when cables have to be installed direct buried, or if mechanical protection is required.
Following points must be considered:
Starting from June 1st, Cavicel
has introduced a new system to

mechanical protection and tensile strength. An additional counterspiral tape
increases solidity, if required.

GSWB: galvanized steel wire braid, diameter of wire: 0.20 - 0.25 - 0.30 - 0.40
Date 02/12/2016 mm, with coverage of >80%. It assures a good mechanical resistance,
allowing a lower bending radius compared to other armour. It is preferable

GSTA: galvanized steel tape armour, composed by two tapes with overlapped
edge; thickness of each tape: 0.20 – 0.30 – 0.40 mm, according to cable
diameter. It grants a coverage > 100%. Very good crush resistance, but fair
tensile strength.
Brass tape of minimum thickness 0.075 mm can be used for special
applications.
GSFA: : galvanized steel flat armour. It is composed by flat wire of thickness
0.6 mm or 0.8 mm, it is similar to SWA, but with higher mechanical protection.
