What is Steel Wire Armoured Cable? Steel wire armoured cable (SWA) is a highly reinforced power cable. It will supply a continuous flow of electricity to the intended target, due the galvanized steel overlapping the center cable.

Each cable is built up of numerous copper cores, followed by XLPE insulation of the cores. The insulated cores are then protected by a layer of PVC bedding, which is secured by steel wire. Finally a thick outer layer of PVC covers the entirety of the cable.

2 Core Armoured Cable is commonly found supplying mains voltage electricity to powered devices and networks. For example, it could be used to power outdoor buildings such as garden sheds or workshops as well as garden features such as jacuzzi/hot tubs. The cable contains a steel wire armour, meaning it provides a mechanical protection for the insulating layers underneath.

This also enables the cable to have higher pulling loads, making it perfectly suitable for dispensing from a cable drum on a building site, etc. 4mm 3 core swa cable 6mm 3 core swa cable 10mm 3 core swa cable 16mm 3 core swa cable 25mm 3 core swa cable 50mm 3 core swa cable 35mm 3 core swa cable 95mm 3 core swa cable It’s construction is commonly identified by the plain annealed stranded copper for the cores, the PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for the bedding and sheathing, armour made from steel wire and XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) for the insulation. The Steel Wire can also be used as a CPC (Circuit Protective Conductor), meaning the armour can be used an earth for the cable. This means that even though the cable doesn’t have an earth core (green/yellow), it is still protected, meaning it abides by all health and safety regulations.
