Product description
3 core stranded copper electrical cable (CU/XLPE/SWA/PVC), produced by Riyadh Cables Company, Armored with layer of steel wires (SWA) to give it mechanical strength to protect it from external pressures that fall on the cable. Insulated with XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) which provides a unique combination of strength, flexibility and reliability making them suitable for a diverse range of applications. It can withstand high temperatures up to 90°C for extended periods without compromising performance. The cable also withstands harsh environmental conditions, including moisture, corrosion and chemicals, making it ideal for outdoor use. Chloride-free, making it environmentally friendly. It is also jacketed with a high-quality PVC (polyvinyl chloride) outer sheath that provides additional protection against corrosion, heat and moisture damage. XLPE cable is commonly used extensively in power transmission and distribution systems in homes, buildings, offices and industrial applications where there is a risk of mechanical damage. Available in different shapes, sizes and conductor ratings to meet diverse application requirements.

Additional Information▼
What distinguishes SWA Armored Cables for use in projects in Saudi Arabia?
SWA (Steel Wire Armored) cables are designed to withstand harsh site conditions and protect the cable from impacts, pressure, and abrasion during installation or burial. The steel wire armoring provides higher mechanical strength compared to unarmored cables, making it a practical choice when there is a likelihood of exposure to loads, friction, or passage through conduits/trenches that could damage the cable.
Guidelines for selecting SWA Armored Cables (without changing specifications)
- Number of cores: This product comes with 3 cores to meet the needs of three-phase power supply according to project requirements.
- Size: 3×16 mm² is suitable for applications requiring a larger conductor cross-section within the low voltage range.
- Insulation and sheath: XLPE insulation with PVC sheath for a good balance between reliability and external protection.
- Voltage rating: 600/1000 volts within the low voltage cable category.
- Brand: Manufactured by Riyadh Cables (suitable for project requests that require certified suppliers).

Tips for Installing SWA Armored Cables on Site
- Ensure that the voltage (600/1000 volts) and path requirements match before purchasing.
- During transportation and installation, avoid sharp pulls or excessive bending of the cable to maintain the integrity of the insulation and armoring.
- When installing outdoors or in humid/corrosive environments, the XLPE/PVC structure with armoring helps enhance durability, while adhering to approved safety and installation practices on site is essential.
