A PVC-coated cable is a cable, usually made of galvanized or stainless steel, covered with a PVC sheath that protects it from moisture, abrasion, and impact. This sheath improves the cable's durability, prevents injuries from exposed metal wires, and prevents damage to surfaces it comes into contact with. More attractive and easier to handle, it is often used for guardrails, outdoor installations, sports activities, DIY projects, or to protect sensitive objects.
