Product description
Stranded copper electrical cable (CU/XLPE/SWA/PVC) 3 phase + neutral line, 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.

What distinguishes SWA armored cables and why are they used in projects within Saudi Arabia?
SWA armored cables are low voltage power cables equipped with Steel Wire Armour for enhanced mechanical protection, making them a practical choice in work sites where cables may be subjected to pressure, friction, or impact during installation. In this product from Riyadh Cables, the conductor is stranded copper with XLPE insulation and a PVC sheath, rated for 600/1000 volts, with a thermal rating of up to 90°C, suitable for common operating conditions in buildings and projects.
Quick selection guide for SWA armored cables (before purchase)
- Number of conductors (3.5 conductors): This cable has 3 conductors + neutral suitable for three-phase supply with a neutral line.
- Size: The phase size is 120 mm² (detailed on the page as 3×120+70 mm²) and is chosen based on the load, length of the run, and voltage drop requirements.
- Conductor shape: Stranded (sm) for the phases, which helps with fitting in crowded conduits compared to some other shapes.
- Installation environment: The presence of SWA and PVC sheath adds an extra layer of safety when the cable may be exposed to mechanical factors during installation.
- Available length: 500 meters, suitable for projects requiring long runs while minimizing joints as much as possible.
Brief installation and operation tips (to enhance reliability and reduce failures)
- Ensure that the 600/1000 volt rating matches the circuit requirements before installation.
- Avoid pulling the cable forcefully or bending it sharply while pulling through conduits/runs to prevent stress on the conductor and insulation.
- Maintain protection of the cable ends during storage and installation to minimize moisture or dirt ingress before termination.
- Match insulation colors (Red/Yellow/Blue/Black) with the site distribution scheme to reduce connection errors.
Note: It is recommended that selection and installation be carried out by a qualified electrician/contractor according to project requirements and approved standards.
