hey what's going on guys I'm mercy with discount low voltage and I do get a lot of phone calls with people talking about armored fiber-optic cable there are two different types of armored cables so I just thought I'd maybe make this a little bit of an educational video for you so you'd get a better feel for both of these cables and what might work better for your applications so let's go ahead and start off with the outdoor armored cable okay so here's a quick look at your armored burial cable now the jacket itself this the outside jacket this is a very durable cable and life expectancy on this type of cable I would expect it to last you around I'd say about thirty years it's very similar in design and feel and the strength of this cable feels a lot like the PE 89 copper cables now those cables are also expected to last about 30 years but this is the armor right here it is a steel tape
