The range of hard-wearing steel wire armour (SWA) and aluminium wire armour (AWA) XLPE insulated cables is manufactured in accordance with IEC 60502 and is designed for use in applications where there is a risk of mechanical stress and where protection is required against mechanical damage. It is commonly used for the supply of mains electricity and for auxiliary control cables in diverse environments including aerial power networks, outdoors, indoors, underground systems and in cable ducting. The SWA armour means these are direct burial cables - suitable for installation directly into free draining soil as they are protected from damage should be they accidentally hit. These cables are suitable for use clipped directly onto a surface, on a tray, in a basket or in free air.

This range of low voltage armoured cable is often referred to as mains power cable, mains armoured cable, booklet and non-booklet armoured cable. The single core cable is armoured with aluminium wires (AWA) to prevent induced current in the armour. The 3 core cables, 4 core cable, and other multicore versions are armoured with galvanised steel wires (SWA) and are available in a wide range of cores and conductor sizes. This range of XLPE insulated cables is available with a UV-stable PVC outersheath or with low smoke zero halogen (LSZH sheath) properties for applications where the emission of smoke and toxic fumes could create a serious threat to life and sensitive equipment in the event of fire.
