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.
