What is Steel Wire Armoured Cable
Steel Wire Armoured Cable, commonly known as SWA, features multiple layers of steel wires wound around the cable insulation. This construction provides excellent tensile strength, making it suitable for environments where the cable may be pulled during installation or exposed to external impacts. As a specialised Manufacturer and Wholesaler, QRUNNING offers customisable SWA structures for low-voltage and medium-voltage systems widely used in power distribution, construction engineering, and industrial infrastructure projects.
The Advantages of Steel Wire Armoured Cable
The primary advantage of Steel Wire Armoured Cable lies in its exceptional mechanical durability. The steel wire layer protects against abrasion, impact, and tension, enabling secure installation in challenging terrains or heavy-duty environments. SWA also enhances safety by maintaining cable stability under pressure or movement. As a committed Supplier and Manufacturer, we provide customisable SWA options engineered for long-term resilience in commercial, industrial, and outdoor installations.
