70mm 5 Core SWA Armoured Cable is a type of electrical cable that has a PVC outer sheath and a steel wire armour below. This protects the cores inside the cable which makes it suitable for direct burial into the ground.

We often get asked what length we supply our cable in, this is very simple; we can cut your cable to any length you need. For instance, if you need a 25m coil of 70mm 4 core steel wire armoured cable, you would simply enter 25 into the quantity box.

  • The Railway and Transport industry
  • Underneath roads powering buildings
  • Industrial networks such as power plants and factories
  • Within cable ducting and the roofs of warehouses

If you need to asses what size cable it is you require, please follow this link for our Armoured Cable Calculator. PLEASE NOTE; this is an approximation, if you don’t know what cable size it is you require, please contact a qualified electrician so they can consult the regulations and confirm.

Description

70mm 5 Core Armoured Cable

70mm 5 Core Armoured Cable is a size and type of steel wire armoured cable. Primarily found in large powered networks and underneath roadways supplying mains electricity to large buildings. It can also be found within the transport industry, specifically railways powering the trains and buildings located beside the tracks. Due to the size of this cable, it is perfectly suitable for large amounts of power running through it on a daily basis, 24 hours a day. Please bear in mind that this cable only has two cores; a live and a neutral. The best solution to this issue would be to buy a length of earth cable that matches the length of the Armoured Cable. This would negate the steel wire from being used as an earth, meaning it is a safer alternative. 70mm 5 Core Armoured Cable is constructed from the following materials;
 
– Plain Annealed Stranded Copper for the cores
 
– Cross-Linked Polyethylene for the Insulation
 
– PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for the bedding and sheathing
 
– Steel Wire for the armour protecting the insulating layers beneath.
