Protected cable distribution is simply protection for your cables.  Protected cable distribution provides benefits from protecting the cables from physical damage as well as wiretapping prevention.  Wiretapping is tapping into a network wire to monitor data that flows in the line.  To ensure flawless communication, copper wires or optical fiber need sufficient physical protection.  

In the military, cables carry classified information and have different compliance levels depending on what the classification is for that network.  To meet the compliance, you have to ensure a certain level of acoustical, electrical, electromagnetic, and physical safeguards are applied.

High level of protection for these cables have concrete covering and goes underground, come with complex monitoring systems to detect issues to include vibration, as well as security guards that perform audits.

Whether it’s to ensure physical damage prevention or to avoid communication failure during cable installation, protected cable distribution should be considered.
