Armoured 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.
