PVC SWA Cables

Our range of PVC sheathed armoured cables covers a variety of applications including power (rated at 1kV, 11kV and 33kV), instrumentation and telecommunications. The cable armouring consists of steel wire (SWA) or aluminium wire (AWA), which provides mechanical stress protection and makes the armoured cables suitable for direct burial and outdoor or underground use.
Where applicable, our PVC SWA/AWA cables are manufactured to British Standard BS5467, BS6622, BS7870, BS6346/87 or BS4937.

Application

Multi-core PVC cable with steel wire armour (SWA). Power and auxiliary fixed wiring cables for use in power networks, underground, outdoor and indoor applications and for use in cable ducting. Apply to shafts, water and soil, able to bear the larger positive pressure.
