2 Core Armoured Cable

XLPE/PVC/SWA/PVC
BS5467 BASEC Approved

Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Insulation: XLPE offers high thermal resistance, allowing the cable to operate safely at higher temperatures (up to 90°C for continuous operation and 250°C under short-circuit conditions). This makes it suitable for environments with high ambient temperatures. XLPE insulation has low dielectric losses, which contributes to the cable's efficiency in power transmission, reducing energy losses over long distances. XLPE provides excellent insulation resistance, which enhances the cable's ability to prevent electrical faults, thus ensuring reliable power delivery.


Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Sheath: The outer and inner PVC sheaths provide excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, and moisture, which makes the cable suitable for harsh industrial environments, including chemical plants and outdoor installations. The PVC sheath also protects against corrosion, extending the cable's lifespan even in moist or corrosive environments.


Steel Wire Armouring (SWA):The SWA provides excellent mechanical protection, making the cable highly resistant to physical damage. This is particularly beneficial for underground installations or environments where the cable might be exposed to mechanical stress or impact. The armour also makes the cable capable of withstanding external forces such as crushing and pulling during installation.


This cable is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including direct burial, ducts, and fixed installations. Due to its robust construction and resistance to environmental factors, the XLPE/PVC/SWA/PVC cable tends to have a longer service life, which reduces the need for frequent replacements and maintenance, providing a cost-effective solution over time.

What is SWA Armoured Cable?

SWA armoured cable, short for Steel Wire Armoured Cable, is a robust and durable electrical cable used primarily for power transmission and distribution in industrial, commercial, and outdoor installations. It is designed to withstand mechanical stress, environmental conditions, and potential damage that might occur during installation or operation.

What are the key features of SWa Armoured Cable?

Conductor: The core of the cable is made of copper, which carries the electrical current.
Insulation: A layer of material (cross-linked polyethylene, or XLPE) that provides electrical insulation around the conductor.
Bedding: A protective layer that separates the insulation from the steel wire armouring. It acts as a cushion to prevent damage to the insulation from the armouring.
Armour: Made of galvanized steel wires, this layer provides mechanical protection, allowing the cable to endure physical stress and impacts.
Outer Sheath: The final layer, usually made of PVC or other durable materials, that protects the cable from environmental factors like moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure.

What are the technical specifications of SWA Armoured Cable?

Voltage Rating: 600/1000V
Max. Temp. Rating: 90°C

What are the applications of SWA Armoured Cable?

Underground Installations: Its durability makes it ideal for being buried directly in the ground.
Outdoor Environments: The cable's armoured design resists harsh weather and mechanical damage.
Power Distribution: Commonly used in supplying power to machinery, buildings, and industrial equipment.
Temporary Power Supplies: Used for events, construction sites, and temporary installations due to its robustness.

Why would you choose SWA Armoured Cable?

Mechanical Protection: The steel wire armour protects against physical damage.
Durability: Resistant to environmental wear and tear, including moisture, UV rays, and chemicals.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including underground, outdoor, and indoor environments.
Safety: Provides a high level of safety due to its tough insulation and protective armouring.
