Armoured Cable

Steel-wire/tape armoured 0.6/1 kV power cable.

Armoured Cable

Product Overview

Steel-wire (SWA) or steel-tape (STA) armoured power cable gives mechanical protection for direct burial and outdoor fixed installation. The armour also serves as a fault-current path, making it ideal for utilities, mining and infrastructure.

Key Features

  • Steel wire (SWA) or tape (STA) armour
  • Mechanical protection for direct burial
  • Armour doubles as earth/ fault return
  • PVC, PE or LSZH outer sheath
  • 1–5 core, Cu or Al conductor
