armored cable
Sheathed electrical conduit
Armored cable is electrical wiring encased in a flexible metal sheath, typically spiraled steel or aluminum.
The armor protects the conductors from physical damage, moisture, and rodents, making it suitable for exposed installations where standard plastic-sheathed cable would be vulnerable: The electrician ran armored cable through the basement ceiling.
