35mm² 2 Core PVC SWA XLPE Armoured Cable Per Metre

Superior Protection for Demanding Environments

This cable features multiple copper cores surrounded by XLPE insulation, with a layer of PVC bedding protected by steel wire, finished with a durable PVC coating that covers the entire cable. The 35mm² cross-sectional area delivers exceptional current-carrying capacity for heavy-duty applications, making it ideal for power distribution systems that demand reliable performance without compromise.

Unmatched Mechanical Protection

The hard-wearing steel wire armour (SWA) between the bedding and outer sheath protects the cable from mechanical stress and reduces the risk of damage. The galvanized steel layer provides a robust shield against accidental shovel strikes during excavation, rock pressure in deep trenches, and heavy vehicle traffic on construction sites. This makes the cable exceptionally suited to environments where cables face crushing forces, impact damage, and physical abrasion.

Versatile Installation Options

Common applications include the supply of mains electricity and auxiliary control cables in diverse environments including aerial power networks, outdoors, indoors, underground systems and in cable ducting. They are suitable for direct burial into free draining soil or can be clipped directly onto a surface, on a tray, in a basket or in free air. Whether you're powering industrial equipment, connecting outbuildings, or establishing permanent underground feeds, this cable adapts to your installation requirements.

Dual Functionality with Built-In Earthing

The armour can also be used as a secondary Earth (CPC), eliminating the need for a dedicated earth conductor in many applications and simplifying installation logistics. A properly terminated armour layer acts as a Circuit Protective Conductor (CPC), providing an essential path for fault currents and enhancing the electrical safety of the system.

XLPE Insulation for Enhanced Performance

XLPE SWA cables perform better in high-temperature and high-load applications, with an operating temperature range of -20°C to +90°C. This thermosetting insulation material provides superior resistance to thermal stress and maintains electrical integrity even in extreme conditions.

Proven Reliability Across Industries

SWA cable is the best option for industrial and mining projects, underground and outdoor wiring where stable performance and protection are essential. Industrial facilities use it to supply motors, transformers, and heavy machinery, protecting against forklift traffic, vibration, and chemical exposure. Renewable energy projects, such as solar farms and wind turbines, rely on SWA for inverter-to-switchgear connections in exposed outdoor conditions.

Rodent and Pest Protection

In areas with pests, rats or termites can eat through standard cables. The hard steel wires of an SWA cable act as a shield that animals cannot bite through. This protection is invaluable for rural installations, agricultural applications, and outdoor equipment where wildlife damage represents a significant operational risk.

Cost-Effective Long-Term Investment

SWA cables are built for long-term use, even in harsh environments such as moisture, corrosion, and high mechanical stress. This reduces maintenance costs and ensures stable operation. The upfront investment pays dividends through eliminated downtime, reduced repair expenses, and extended service life.
