    What is Steel Tape Armoured Cable

    11/27/2025

    Are You Facing Difficulties Finding Reliable Steel Tape Armoured Cable for Harsh Installation Environments?

    Many buyers struggle with inconsistent quality, weak mechanical protection, and unreliable delivery when sourcing Steel Tape Armoured Cable. These issues often lead to safety risks, cable failure, and costly project delays. As a professional Manufacturer, Supplier, and Wholesaler with 30+ years of experience, QRUNNING offers stable, certified, and customisable STA solutions engineered to handle demanding applications with confidence.

    Steel Tape Armoured Cable (STA) uses steel tape layers to provide strong mechanical protection against crushing and external pressure, making it ideal for fixed installation, underground routing, and industrial environments where durability and safety are essential.

    What is Steel Tape Armoured Cable

    Steel Tape Armoured Cable, commonly referred to as STA, is designed with overlapping steel tape wrapped around the cable insulation. This structure enhances resistance to mechanical pressure, offering a robust protective layer suitable for static or fixed installations. As a dedicated Manufacturer and Supplier, QRUNNING produces customisable STA designs for low-voltage and medium-voltage power distribution, ensuring safe and stable operation in underground, tunnel, or structural wiring systems.

    The Advantages of Steel Tape Armoured Cable

    The key advantage of Steel Tape Armoured Cable lies in its excellent compressive strength, making it ideal for installations exposed to heavy loads or soil movement. STA provides cost-effective protection compared with more complex armouring methods. Its laminated steel tape structure also ensures strong resistance to external impact. As a Wholesaler and Manufacturer, we offer customisable STA options tailored for industrial, construction, and utility applications where durability and safety are top priorities.

    FAQ

    What is the difference between steel wire armoured and steel tape armoured cable?

    Steel wire armoured (SWA) cables provide tensile strength for pulling and vertical installations, while Steel Tape Armoured Cable (STA) offers superior compression resistance for fixed or underground routes without requiring tensile performance.

    What is a STA cable used for?

    STA cable is used for underground power distribution, building wiring, industrial equipment supply, and fixed installations where strong mechanical and compression protection is required.
