Tested by Cows Just how tough are our ArmourLux cables? We took a slightly unusual approach to answer this, and tested the cables by letting a herd of cows walk over them (each weighing 800-900kg). Happily the cables passed the test, with no change in attenuation. This bodes well for footfall at live events and festivals!
