How does “Corrugated Steel Tape (CST)” armor protect direct-buried cables?

For cables buried directly in the ground without a conduit, CST armor provides essential protection against:

Rodent Attacks: Prevents squirrels and rats from chewing through the core.

Crush Resistance: Withstands the pressure of soil and heavy machinery.

Moisture Barrier: Adds an extra layer of protection against chemical ingress from the soil.
