Understanding Preformed Armor Rods More Than Just Cable

Understanding Preformed Armor Rods: More Than Just Cable

Many people mistakenly believe preformed armor rods are simply another type of electrical cable. In reality, they serve a completely different purpose.

While traditional cables transmit electricity, preformed rods — including armor grip rods, conductor armor rods, preformed wire rods, reinforcing rods, and protective rods — are engineered to support and protect overhead power lines from vibration, abrasion, and environmental stress.

The Critical Role of Preformed Wire Fittings in Power Line Protection

Preformed conductor protection solutions like preformed wire fittings are essential for extending the lifespan of transmission and distribution lines. These helical-shaped preformed rods wrap securely around conductors, providing:

  • Vibration damping (reducing aeolian vibration damage)
  • Mechanical reinforcement at suspension points
  • Corona and abrasion protection
  • Long-term structural integrity
