metallikantoiset
Metallikantoiset, commonly known as metal-clad or metal-sheathed cables, are electrical cables designed with a protective metal layer around their insulation. This metal sheathing serves primarily to shield the internal conductors from physical damage, moisture, and electromagnetic interference. The term "metallikantoiset" is used in Finnish to describe such cables, reflecting their reinforced construction.
The metal sheathing is typically made from materials like aluminum, copper, or steel, depending on the application
Metallikantoiset cables offer several advantages. The metal layer enhances mechanical strength, reducing the risk of damage
Installation of metallikantoiset cables often requires specialized techniques, such as proper grounding of the metal sheath
In summary, metallikantoiset cables are a robust solution for demanding electrical and communication applications, offering protection
