Product description
Two core armored power cable (CU/PVC/SWA/PVC), solid copper conductor, Produced by Riyadh Cables Company. according to (International Electrotechnical Commission) standard. Armored with layer of steel wires (SWA) to give it mechanical strength to protect it from external pressures that fall on the cable. Also insulated with two layers of high-quality PVC (polyvinyl chloride) material, the first layer provides excellent electrical insulation. The outer jacket also provides protection for the cable from corrosion and external factors. It is used to conduct electrical current in various domestic, commercial and industrial applications where there is a risk of mechanical damage. Available in a variety of sizes and colors with highest quality and best prices.

Why choose SWA Armored Cables for this type of application?
SWA (Steel Wire Armor) cables are used when the primary need is impact, pressure, and abrasion resistance during installation or in locations where cables may be exposed to mechanical damage. The presence of the armor provides additional rigidity to the cable compared to unarmored cables, while still being classified as low voltage cables 600/1000 volts suitable for many building applications.

Size Selection Guidelines Before Purchase (Brief)
When selecting SWA armored cables, the most important step is to ensure that the cable size of 6 mm² is suitable for the load current, length of the run, and method of installation. In projects within Saudi Arabia, it is preferable to match the size with the approved electrical plans on site to minimize voltage drop and enhance reliability. If the run is long or the load is high, a different size may be required according to the design—consult the consultant/technician before final approval.
Quick Installation and Safety Tips
- Avoid pulling the cable forcefully during installation to prevent damage to the PVC layers or armor.
- Ensure to maintain the appropriate bend radius during installation to avoid unseen internal damage.
- Use suitable termination/entry accessories for armored cables to ensure tight sealing and reduce moisture or dirt ingress.
Packaging and Supply
The cable comes in a length of 1000 meters to facilitate project needs and minimize joints as much as possible. Upon receipt, it is advisable to match the label data (size, number of conductors, standard) with the purchase order to ensure that the required specifications for SWA armored cables are met on site.
