Types of Armoured Cable by Armour
There are several types of armored cables based on their armour type. The most common armour types are steel wire armour (SWA), steel tape armour (STA), and aluminum wire armour (AWA). These armours can protect the cables from mechanical damage. All these armored cables are suitable for direct burial, outdoor use, and underground installation. Usually, the steel wire. These armour types differ in construction, features, and usage.
SWA Cable
SWA cable stands for steel wire armoured cable. Our swa cable can withstand crushing, impact, and cutting, and can withstand tensile force. Our swa cable can be used for direct burial and installed vertically.
AWA Cable
AWA cable refers to aluminium wire armoured cable. Aluminum wire armour is a non-magnetic material for single-core cables and protects the cable from mechanical damage without inducing magnetic loss.
STA Cable
STA cable stands for steel tape armoured cable. STA cables can be horizontally installed underground without additional protection. The steel tape armour can protect the cable from stress and impact.
Types of Armoured Cable By Core Quantity
The core quantity of our armored cables can range from 1 core to 48 cores. The most common core quantities of our armored cables are armoured single core cable, armoured 2 core cable, armoured 3 core cable, armoured 4 core cable, and armoured 5 core cable. These armoured single core and multi core cables are mainly used for underground and outdoor power transmission and distribution. These armoured single core and multi-core cables can withstand mechanical stress, impact, and crushing. They are especially suitable for harsh environments for a stable and reliable power supply.

Types of Armoured Cable by Conductor
The main conductor materials in our armoured cables are copper and aluminum. The armoured copper cable has high conductivity and high current-carrying capacity. The armoured aluminum cables are more cost-effective and lighter. Both armoured copper cables and armoured aluminum cables are suitable for harsh environments, underground installations, and direct burial.
Armoured Copper Conductor Cable
Our armoured copper cables have good conductivity and high current-carrying capacity. The armoured copper conductor cable offers excellent durability, flexibility, and high resistance to mechanical damage. They are ideal for a high-current underground power supply system.
Armoured Aluminium Conductor Cable
Our armoured aluminium conductor cables are lightweight, cost effective, and highly conductive. Our armoured aluminium conductor cables are ideal for harsh outdoor environments. They are widely used for long-distance medium voltage power supply.
Armored Cable Specifications
Our armored cables can be used for different voltage systems for power transmission and distribution. Our armored cables are widely used in the voltage system, including the 0.6/1kV power grid and medium-voltage systems at 6.35/11kV and 8.7/15kV. Both high-conductivity copper armored cables and cost-effective aluminium armored cables are available from us. The core quantity and armour types can be customized according to your specifications and usages.

Can be used for direct burial and underground power transmission.
Industrial manufacturing plant
The armour can protect the cables from potential damage.
Oil, gas & chemical plants
They are durable, flexible, and corrosion-resistant.
Mining Plants
They can withstand impact, stress, crushing.
FAQ:
What is armoured cable?
Armoured cables are cables with a layer of metal or non-metal armor wrapped around the cable core. This armour layer enhances the cable’s mechanical strength, resistance to external impacts, and environmental adaptability. The armour layer protects the internal conductors and insulation from external physical damage, chemical corrosion, or electromagnetic interference.
What is SWA cable?
SWA cable refers to steel wire armored cable. Its core structure consists of one or more layers of steel wire, braided or wound, on the outer layer of the cable.
What is difference between SWA and STA?
The main difference between steel wire armoured cable and steel tape armoured cable is that wire armor is mainly used to withstand axial tensile force and is suitable for overhead and vertical shaft applications. Steel tape armour is mainly used to withstand radial pressure and is suitable for direct burial and conduit applications.
Can armoured cable be buried?
Armoured cables can be directly buried and are the recommended cable type for direct burial projects. The armor layer effectively resists mechanical forces, corrosion, and soil-borne insect infestations, ensuring the cable’s underground operation remains stable and long-term.
Is armored cable waterproof?
Armored cables have some water resistance, but their waterproofing primarily depends on the outer sheath material and structural design rather than the armour layer itself. The armour layer (metal materials such as steel strips and wires) primarily provides mechanical protection and interference resistance, and does not directly provide waterproofing.
