10mm 2 Core Armoured Cable

10mm 2 Core Armoured Cable is a type of electrical cable used to supply mains voltage electricity for a variety of uses. As this cable is armoured, it is suitable for underground installations as well as being attached to structures or buildings using Cable Cleats. In Addition Both indoor and outdoor glands for this armoured SWA cable are available. This cable is commonly found in a range of installations including the following;

Garden Lighting
Factory Lighting
LED Garden Lighting
Electric Gates
Security Lighting

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	10mm 2 Core Armoured Cable 10mm 2 Core Armoured Cable is a large variant of electrical cable used to supply mains voltage electricity to various devices and powered networks. Weatherproof and dust-proof, this cable is suitable for underground installation as well as being attached to structures or buildings using Cable Cleats. It is commonly found in a range of installations including; – The Railway and Transport industry- Underneath roads powering buildings – Industrial networks such as power plants and factories- Within cable ducting in the roofs of warehouses The Cable is constructed from the following materials; Plain Annealed Stranded Copper for the conductors/cores, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) for the insulation, Steel Wire for the Armour and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for the bedding and sheathing.Not only does the Steel Wire Armour provide protection for the insulating layers beneath but it also enables it to have higher pulling loads so it is able to stand the strain of being dispensed from a large cable drum. The armour can also be used as a natural earth or CPC (Current Protective Conductor) for the cable. This means that a seperate earth cable isn’t required.
