Mechanical Protection
Metallic armour improves protection for direct burial, duct, outdoor and mechanically exposed power cable routes.
Armoured Power Cable
Armoured Power Cable for power power distribution and project cable selection.
Armoured Power Cable is used where power cable routes require mechanical protection, buried installation review or stronger installation durability than unarmoured cable.
Product Overview
Armoured Power Cable should be selected according to the actual project route, not by product name alone. Before quotation, review voltage class, conductor material, insulation system, armour or screen design, sheath route and installation condition. Datasheet wording, compliance documents and final supply notes should stay aligned with the selected standard and installation conditions.
Applications
- fixed low-voltage power feeders requiring mechanical protection
- direct-burial, outdoor, plant or infrastructure cable routes
- industrial distribution systems with installation stress or impact risk
- projects comparing SWA, STA or other armour options before quotation
Construction
Copper or aluminum conductor as specified; XLPE or PVC insulation according to voltage grade; optional armour and sheath according to installation condition; armour layer for mechanical protection. Final dimensions, electrical values and test requirements should follow the selected standard and project datasheet.
Marking on Cable
FARWALK CABLE – Armoured Power Cable – [standard] – [voltage] – [core x size] – [year] – [meter mark]
Cable Identification
- Core identification can follow color or number marking according to standard and project requirement.
- Outer sheath color, voltage marking and meter marking can be reviewed before production.
Standards
- IEC 60502-1 / IEC 60502-2
- GB/T 12706
- BS / VDE / NFC routes where specified
Main Features
Installation-Focused Design
SWA, STA or AWA armour should be selected according to single-core or multicore construction and site conditions.
Project Size Review
For Armoured Power Cable, conductor size, voltage class, current rating and short-circuit requirement should be confirmed before quotation.
Product Selection Guide
Voltage Class
Start with the rated voltage; LV, MV, HV and EHV cables use different standards, tests and construction logic.
Installation Route
Confirm tray, duct, direct burial, tunnel, outdoor, indoor or underwater-related conditions before selecting armour and sheath.
Conductor / Core Choice
Review copper or aluminum, single-core or multicore construction by current rating, voltage drop and installation layout.
Fire / Mechanical Requirement
Select LSZH, fire-resistant, armoured, water-blocking or special sheath options only when the route requires them.
