Application

Used for power and control circuits, these cables offer excellent protection through the use of a heavy galvanized steel wire armoured. The GSWA makes them suitable for use inside and outside buildings or for direct burial in the ground.

Cable Construction

Plain copper wire conductors to BS 6360, class2 (stranded), XLPE insulation, PVC inner sheath, Galvanized Steel Wire Armoured, PVC sheath-Black.

Single core cables are supplied with an Aluminum Wire Armor (AWA) in accordance with BS5467.
