5 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable, generally abbreviated as SWA, is a hard-wearing power cable created for the supply of mains electricity. It is one of a number of armoured electrical cables– which is found in underground systems, power networks and cable ducting.
The common structure of an 5 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable can be broken down as follows:
1.Conductor: includes plain stranded copper (cables are categorized to suggest the degree of flexibility. Class 2 describes stiff stranded copper conductors as stipulated by British Standard BS EN 60228:2005).
2.Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is used in a variety of power cables because it has good water resistance and excellent electrical properties. Insulation in cables guarantees that conductors and other metal substances do not enter into contact with each other.
3.Bedding: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bedding is used to supply a defensive border between inner and outer layers of the cable.
4.Armour: Steel wire armour provides mechanical protection, which implies the cable can stand up to higher tensions, be buried directly and used in external or underground projects.The armouring is normally connected to earth and can sometimes be used as the circuit protective conductor (” earth wire”) for the equipment supplied by cable.
5.Sheath: a black PVC sheath holds all elements of the cable together and provides additional protection from external stresses.The PVC version of SWA cable, described above, satisfies the requirements of both British Standard BS5467 and International Electrotechnical Commission standard IEC 60502. It is known as SWA BS5467 Cable and it has a voltage rating of 600/1000V.
Due to above 5 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable’s structure,which has many advantages,as follow:
1. Environmental Resistance
Armoured cables offer durable protection against various environmental factors, including moisture, chemicals, and UV ray. This makes them suitable for installations in areas prone to extreme climate condition or corrosive compounds.
2. Longevity and Durability
Due to their sturdy construction, armoured cables have an extended life span compared to standard cables. They are less prone to harm, reducing the need for constant repairs or replacements. This aspect contributes to long-term cost savings.
3. Flexibility and Versatility
Armoured cables are available in various arrangements, enabling flexibility in installations. They could be used for both indoor and outdoor applications, adjusting to different power requirements and environments.

5 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable is a cable with strong resistance to drawing and crushing, and it can adapt to any extreme environment. Steel wire armor has strong flexible strength and can be utilized for laying directly buried cables or basic threading pipes, general roads, tunnel construction, etc, while steel tape armor has strong extrusion resistance and is appropriate for the overhead or vertical laying of short-circuit lines.
Adding a metal-clad armor protective layer to the cable can prolong the life span of the cable, enhance the anti-interference ability of the cable through shielding protection, strengthen the anti-corrosion ability of the cable, and stop mice from biting.
Due to above 5 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable’s Feature,,which has many applications,as follow:
The defensive and resilient nature of 5 core 10 mm² SWA 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.
To sum it up,5 core armoured cables are virtually a non-negotiable necessity in industries that run within harsh environments. These cables offer a robust, protected method for the transmission of power and data in various situations.
Installation of 5 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable is quick and cost-effective. There is no need of stiff conduit pipe, just like threading, bending, making support when we use armored cable.For outdoor installation or direct burial applications, there is a need of mechanical protection of electrical cables. steel wire armour (SWA) offer the mechanical protection. The armoured wire has higher tensile loads.The construct of the armour guarantees maximum resistance to crushing, cutting, and use.
 ；
Remember that the ends of the metallic armour can be sharp. Handle with care to prevent injuries. Use of suitable protective gear, like gloves, can be highly advantageous in this regard.
 ；
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.
