Armoring . Armoring does not occur on all cables, but on those with 

 outer armor the machine produces any number of outer armor wires of 

 various materials and diameter, usually with a preformed construction. 

 Cables ultimately resulting in 8.0-inch diameters are possible on some 

 machines. 



The cable is then either stored in large tanks until it is ready to 

 be loaded or ready to be used or it has terminations molded and takeouts 

 molded according to specifications. Some of the limiting factors for 

 various manufacturers is the maximum outside diameter of a jacketed 

 cable or the maximum outside diameter of an armored cable.
