They have good resistance to electric and magnetic field interference and can effectively prevent interference between adjacent wires. This is especially important for stable information transmission that requires no difference in industrial environments.
[0051] 5. Mechanical protection and corrosion resistance
[0052] The metal sheath of armored computer cable can provide good mechanical protection and resist external physical damage and pressure. This protection is crucial for cables in harsh environments and can extend the service life of the cable. The mechanical protection layer of the armored cable can also improve its corrosion resistance, which is a significant advantage for cables used in environments with more chemicals.
