5 core 10 mm² STA armoured cable, also referred to as STA or Armoured Cable, are multi-core power cables which have a layer of steel wire armour. The armour offers mechanical protection enabling the cable to stand up to higher stresses, be buried directly, and can be used in internal, external and underground projects. It is mainly used for industrial wiring and mains distribution.Cables are manufactured with several different layers and elements. The main components of STA cable is the:
Conductor. The conductor is usually several cores of plain stranded copper.
Insulation. The Insulation is used to protect the conductors from any water damage, especially if the cable is buried underground. It also offers a barricade between the conductors and the other metal components, including the armour.
Bedding. The PVC bedding serves as a buffer between the inner live component of the cable and the outer components.
Steel Tape Armour. The Steel Wire Armour itself is placed over the bedding, providing the cable protection from stress. Sometimes, the armour can be used as the earth cable.
Cable sheathing. The cable sheath is used to protect the inner components of the cable and supplies more protection from mechanical harm and stress.
Due to above 5 core 10 mm² STA armoured cable’s structure,which has many advantages,as follow:
1. Durability
The 5 core sta armoured cables are generally more durable than normal cables. The extra layer of protection makes them more resistant to damage from external factors and increases their lifespan. Normal cables are more prone to damage, particularly in severe environments.
2. Cost
Sta armoured cables are generally more expensive than normal cables because of the additional layer of protection they provide. However, they are a cost-effective solution in the long run as they need less maintenance and have a longer lifespan.
3. Safety
Armoured cables are designed to give added safety benefits. The armor layer acts as an extra layer of insulation, reducing the danger of electrical shock and fire hazards. Normal cables do not offer this added safety feature.

5 core 10 mm² STA armoured cable has an additional layer of protection that stops it from being reduced or torn. The armor of the coaxial cable is an aluminum foil wrap that is ribbed like corrugated metal to supply versatility, and around the inside and outside of the wrap is a waterproof compound to stop wetness from penetrating the cable and creating harm.
The interior structure of the 5-core armored cable includes several layers to avoid damage to the cable. The outer sheath protects against rodents, abrasion and twisting and is usually made of plastic. Armoring materials are mainly derived from Kevlar, steel and aluminum foil, and are designed to protect the armored cable from being stretched during installation.
Due to above 5 core 10 mm² STA armoured cable’s Feature,which has many applications,as follow:
The defensive and resilient nature of armoured cables makes them highly demanded in a wide range of applications and industries. In construction and infrastructure advancement, these cables are used for power transmission in both underground and overhead installations. Their toughness and ability to endure severe environments also make them ideal for use in the utilities and renewable energy sector, including for power links in wind turbines and solar panels.
In the mining and marine industries, where environment conditions can be serious and unforeseeable, the use of armoured cables is prevalent due to their strength and stamina. Moreover, these cables are also used in heavy industries and manufacturing, where machinery and equipment require reliable and constant power supply.
When it comes to precisely what circumstances 5 core 10 mm² STA armoured cable should be used in, typically if the cable itself is going to be exposed to the weather and needs to be fully secured and water proof e.g. used externally then armoured cable should certainly be used.Likewise if there is also a possibility that it could get damaged by effect force e.g. digging in the ground, pinching or crushing e.g. heavy weights being rolled over or pushed into the cable it needs to be able to withstand these forces and a standard residential grey electrical cable would merely not be up to the task and if it became destroyed would pose a huge danger and potential for injury.
In summary if a cable is to be operated externally, despite whether it’s buried or surface mounted or is going to be used in industrial locations around heavy machinery then armoured cable should always be used.A routine visual inspection can also help spot potential issues early. Always check for signs of damage or exposed wires before working with armoured cables. Damaged cables should be repaired or replaced immediately.
