FAQ

What is the typical application of this cable?
Mainly used for power distribution in industrial plants, underground installations, and outdoor environments requiring robust protection.

How is the armor layer constructed?
The steel wire armor consists of interlocking steel wires helically wound around the insulated cores, offering both tensile strength and rodent resistance.

What are the core materials used?
Conductors are typically made of stranded copper or aluminum, with PVC or XLPE insulation for each core.

Is this cable suitable for direct burial?
Yes, the SWA design makes it ideal for direct burial without additional conduit, though local regulations should be verified.

What bending radius should be maintained during installation?
Minimum bending radius is generally 12 times the cable's outer diameter to prevent armor deformation.

How does the armor affect cable weight?
The steel wire armor increases weight by approximately 30-50% compared to non-armored equivalents.

What termination methods are recommended?
Use gland fittings compatible with SWA armor to ensure proper grounding and strain relief.

What maintenance is required for this cable?
Regular visual inspections for armor damage or corrosion, especially in harsh environments
