Additional Information

Quick Guide Before Purchasing SWA Armored Cables

When selecting SWA Armored Cables for construction projects in Saudi Arabia, focus on three key elements: Conductor Type (Copper) for improved conductivity, XLPE Insulation to withstand temperatures up to 90°C for extended operating periods, and SWA Armoring to reduce the risk of mechanical damage in exposed, buried, or friction-prone areas. This product from Riyadh Cables is classified as Low Voltage Cables with a voltage rating of 600/1000 Volts and is suitable for feeding and distribution applications where the risk of shocks or external pressure exists.

Where is the SWA Armored Cable Used?

  • Feeding entrances for buildings, villas, and service areas where there is a risk of friction or pressure on the cable.
  • Outdoor routes exposed to moisture and environmental factors, with additional protection provided by PVC as an outer sheath.
  • Light industrial installations within sites where cables may be subject to mechanical damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are electrical cables equipped with a layer of steel wire armor (Steel Wire Armor) to enhance their resistance to pressure, shocks, and mechanical damage, making them suitable for routes that may be exposed to friction or external impacts.
Yes, because it has XLPE insulation and a PVC outer sheath, and it is capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions such as humidity, corrosion, and chemicals, with SWA for mechanical protection.
XLPE insulation is designed to withstand higher operating temperatures (up to 90°C for long periods) with good strength and flexibility, and it is a popular choice for low voltage cables when higher reliability is needed.
SWA armored stranded copper cable with a size of 2×16 mm², voltage rating of 600/1000 volts, XLPE insulation, and PVC sheath, length of 1000 meters, insulation color red/black, and classified as low voltage cables.
The size is determined by the load (amperes), length of the route, method of installation, and protection requirements. If you are unsure, request a recommendation from an electrical technician to determine the appropriate cross-section before purchasing.
