AFL Armor Rods are designed to protect conductors from mechanical stresses such as bending, compression, and abrasion, particularly in spans greater than 300 feet. Made from materials like aluminum alloy, Alumoweld®, or galvanized steel, these rods are suitable for various conductor types including ACSR, AAC, AAAC, and ACAR. They help restore full strength when less than 50% of the outer strands are damaged and are color-coded for easy identification. Additionally, AFL Armor Rods provide protection against flashover damage and are modified for high voltage applications to eliminate corona effects.
