Loos & Company Armor Wrapped Cable is up for any challenge that comes its way. When you need the toughest cable for use in the most abrasive and abusive environments, Trust only Loos & Company Armor Wrapped Cable.

Often known as Tow Target Cable, our Armor Wrapped Cable begins its life much like any other cable that you would purchase from Loos. What makes our Armor Wrapped Cable different is that our final process is wrapping and swaging a flat strip of metal shielding around the outside of the cable. Tow Target Flat Wrap

A normal cable without shielding will wear down under abrasion. In Loos & Company Armor Wrapped Cable, our metal shielding will take the brunt of the abuse, greatly extending the usage life of your cable. The concept is simple - the flat wrap takes the abuse so that the tensile strength wires don't.


There are many uses of Armor Wrapped Cable, and one of the largest is as HideWire Livestock Fencing. Loos & Company HideWire is the premium livestock containment system currently on the market. What makes HideWire great is its smooth exterior surface that protects animal hides from abrasion scars caused by inferior forms of fencing, such as barbed wire, wood, and others. Our HideWire is a stronger, more durable solution and is up to any challenge a rancher may come across.

Our armor wrapped cable can be manufactured in just about any size, construction and configuration you desire. It can be manufactured using various Galvanized, Bright, and Stainless Steel Alloys (302/304, 305, 316, Inconel®, and Monel® to name a few). For added protection and weatherproofing, Armor wrapped cable can also be jacketed in a variety of materials from Vinyl to Nylon.

Smooth, Rugged, and Dependable, Loos & Company Armor Wrapped Cable is the cable for those who can only settle for the toughest product available. For additional information or to request a quote, please contact a product manager.
