Basically, it's what you run underground when you need power to stay on—steel wire armour takes real beating form rocks and backfill, so the copper or aluminun inside doesn't get crushed.
Voltage ratings go from 0.6/1kV up to 33kV, and we've got conductor sizes from 1.5mm² to 1000mm², so you can match it to your load without oversizing—most buyers go with the 3-core for three-phase distribution.
It handles -15°C to +90°C continuous, and short-circuit temp hits 250°C, which is pretty much standard for XLPE—but the SWA is what makes it better than plain PVC cable for direct burial.
We usually have stock on common sizes like 16mm² or 95mm², but anything over 240mm² might take 20 days or so—confirm lead time before ordering, especially for 4- or 5-core configurations.
Not ideal for overhead lines, obviously—the steel armour adds weight, so it's strictly for trenches, ducts, or concrete encasement where you need that mechanical bite.
You'll get COA with each reel, and our company can do custom lengths if you need them—just tell us the meter count and core count, and we'll cut it (usually 2-4 weeks for non-standdard).
Yes, we offer both copper and aluminum conductor options. The MOQ for aluminum is typically higher — around 500 meters per size, while copper starts at 200 meters.
Lead time is usually 15 to 20 working days for standard sizes like that. If you need it faster, we can sometimes expedite for an extra charge.
Yes, we include type test certificates per IEC and VDE standards with every order. We can also send you a sample report before shipping if needed.
Pulling tension depends on the conductor material and size — for a 4-core 240mm² copper cable, the max is about 30-35 kN. We recommend using a pulling grip and staying under 25 kN to avoid damaging the insulation.
Yes, the PVC sheath and steel wire armour make it perfect for direct burial even in damp conditions. For storage, keep it on a dry, flat surface off the ground and cover it with a tarp to protect from UV and rain.
