What is SWA Armoured Cable?

SWA cable, short for Steel Wire Armoured cable, is a heavy-duty electrical cable built for outdoor or underground use. It features insulated conductors protected by a layer of steel wire armour, which shields the cable from impact, moisture, and mechanical stress. SWA cables are ideal for supplying power to outbuildings, machinery, and fixed outdoor equipment.

When to Use Armoured Cables

You use SWA cable whenever wiring is exposed to potential damage or buried underground. Common applications include:

• Outdoor lighting and garden power supplies.
• Garages, sheds, and outbuildings. Industrial and commercial machinery.
• Underground or external cable runs.

The steel armour provides mechanical protection and allows safe earthing in systems that need it.
