A novel cable construction provides an armored covering over a cable containing high-strength synthetic filaments. The synthetic cable is provided with a strong and tough termination where it attaches to the prior art dragline or power shovel digging equipment. An external armoring is then provided from the termination for a specified distance up the cable. The armoring ceases prior to the point where the cable passes over a pulley. At that point the cable just carries a conventional encapsulating jacket. A collar is preferably provided to seal the end of the armoring portion to the jacket.
