Our 2 core SWA armoured cable is perfect for supplying power to lighting circuits, outdoor sockets, and small installations where earth protection is provided separately. Built with a tough XLPE/PVC/SWA/PVC design, this cable withstands direct burial, ducts, and external conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance in both domestic and commercial environments.
View Sizes & Prices Here!The 3 core SWA armoured cable is commonly used for single-phase applications where an additional conductor is required, such as outdoor lighting, sheds, and small machinery. Its strong steel wire armour offers excellent protection against physical damage, while the insulation provides reliability in damp or challenging outdoor conditions.
We now keep this cable with Green/Yellow, Blue, Brown cores.
Green/Yellow for earth, Blue for neutral, and Brown for live align with modern wiring standards, reducing the risk of wiring errors.
Clear core identification helps prevent accidental miswiring, minimizing hazards like electric shocks and short circuits.
Our 4 core SWA cable is ideal for three-phase applications with a neutral, making it suitable for industrial equipment, pumps, and distribution boards. The robust construction allows installation underground, in ducts, or clipped to surfaces, giving a versatile and cost-effective power supply solution.
View Sizes & Prices Here!The 5 core SWA armoured cable provides additional conductors, making it perfect for control wiring, industrial lighting, and multi-phase connections. With strong resistance to mechanical stress and environmental factors, this cable delivers long service life in demanding environments such as factories, workshops, and outdoor sites.
View Sizes & Prices Here!Our 7 core SWA cable is designed for use in control and auxiliary circuits, offering flexibility for more complex wiring setups. Commonly used in automation systems, street lighting, and signalling, its steel wire armour ensures excellent mechanical protection while maintaining electrical reliability in tough outdoor or underground conditions.
View Sizes & Prices Here!The 12 core SWA cable is ideal for larger control systems, data transfer, and multi-circuit connections in commercial and industrial settings. Its tough construction allows for direct burial and installation in exposed locations, giving peace of mind that your circuits are fully protected against damage and weathering.
View Sizes & Prices Here!Our 19 core SWA armoured cable is perfect for complex installations that require multiple circuits, such as control panels, power distribution, and automation equipment. Engineered for durability, this cable withstands harsh environments, reducing the risk of downtime and maintenance costs over time.
View Sizes & Prices Here!The 27 core SWA cable is designed for heavy-duty control systems and high-capacity installations, where multiple signals or circuits need to be carried safely in one cable.
