Armoured Cable Connection help

In summary, an armoured cable connection is a type of electrical connection that uses a protective layer of metal or plastic to encase the cables for added protection. To make a secure connection, you will need to strip the outer insulation, clean the wires, and use a strain relief clamp. The necessary tools include wire strippers, pliers, screwdriver, cable cutter, and a strain relief clamp. Armoured cable can be used for outdoor connections but must be rated and installed correctly. The benefits of using an armoured cable connection include increased durability, protection, safety, and the ability to handle higher levels of voltage and current.
