ASP sheath is described as which level of strength?

Mechanical protection of the cable sheath is about how well the jacket withstands physical damage. An ASP sheath is built to provide notable resistance to abrasion, crushing, and impact, giving it a higher level of protection than standard, non-armored jackets. It’s designed for outdoor and more demanding environments, but it doesn’t offer the absolute highest protection that armored or steel-reinforced jackets provide. So it’s described as strong rather than very strong. This level guides where you place and routes cables—sufficient for many outdoor runs with moderate risk of damage, while more extreme protection would call for an even tougher option.
