Description

This range of steel wire armoured (SWA) cables are perfect for heavy duty applications that require the most durable wiring, providing excellent insulation and protection both indoors and outdoors as well as underground. This range of RS PRO SWA cables feature plain annealed copper conductors with XLPE thermosetting insulation, offering enhanced reliability and performance in the toughest conditions. The galvanised steel wire armoured construction of the cables also benefits from PVC bedding and sheathing, ensuring the cable is protected against damage from pinching or physical impact.

Features and Benefits

Galvanised steel wire armour for optimum protection against damage and impact

Thermosetting XLPE insulation offering excellent dielectric strength and corrosion resistance at high temperatures

PVC bedding and sheathing to protect the cable in a wide range of environments

Wide operating temperature range providing flexibility

Available in a wide range of sizes and cores

Suitable for use in underground heavy duty applications both indoors and outdoors

Applications

Steel wire armoured cables (SWA) allow a continuous flow of electricity to be carried in the harshest of environments, including underground making them highly versatile and reliable. As a result, steel wired armour cables are perfect for heavy duty applications where cables may be exposed to physical damage or impact as they feature a robust construction with a galvanised steel wire armour to protect the cores, offering exceptional protection and durability. SAW cables are commonly used to supply mains electricity indoors and outdoors in areas such as:
Underground systems

Power Networks
