16sqmm 3Core underground Cable SWA Armoured Cable
What is 16sqmm 3Core underground Cable SWA Armoured Cable?
16sqmm 3Core Underground Cable SWA (Steel Wire Armoured) Armoured Cable is a type of power cable used for electrical installations. The core is made of 16mm² cross-sectional area copper or aluminum. conductor is insulated with a high-quality material such as XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride),armour consists of steel wires (SWA). Final outer layer is usually made of PVC or HDPE, LSZH.
Dosense Cable offers a variety of armoured cables that feature either Copper (Cu) or Aluminium (Al) conductors. These cables are available with sheathing made from either Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) or Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) materials. LSZH sheathing is particularly recommended for use in densely populated enclosed spaces and is required by regulations in certain public areas due to its enhanced safety features, such as reduced smoke and toxic emissions in the event of a fire.
