5 Core SWA Armoured Cable Application
These cables are used for electricity supply in low voltage installation system, They are suitable for installation in indoors and outdoors, in cable ducts, under ground, in power and switching stations, local energy distributions, industrial plants, where there is no risk of mechanical damage. The lead sheath brings an enhanced resistance to aromatic hydrocarbons.5 Core SWA Armoured Cable Standard
BS 5467 IEC 60502-1.
