Ask an Engineer

Q. Is there a good polymer cable cover, close to armored and as functionally protective as armored?

A. Cables with the TC-ER (tray cable exposed run) or ITC-/PLTC-ER (instrument tray cable/power-limited tray cable exposed run) listings meet exactly the same crush and impact tests as metal clad cables, but without the metal. For many applications, ER cables are ideal as they keep the cost and size much lower than armored cables. There are additives to cable jackets that will deter rodents, if that's a concern. If you need other mechanical protection or cut-through protection, there may not be a polymer option. However, there are many armor types, which could be cost-effective options.
