Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) cables represent one of the most robust and widely-used power cable designs for demanding installations. The 6943X (3-core) and 6944X (4-core) series are specifically engineered for applications wherever there is risk of mechanical stress or mechanical damage, including underground installations and outdoor environments. The steel wire armour layer serves as a protective barrier that significantly reduces the risk of cable pinching, impact damage, or other physical harm that could compromise electrical integrity. These cables are manufactured to BS 5467 standards and are suitable for direct burial without additional conduit protection, as well as surface installation on cable trays, baskets, clips, and in free air.

6241B and 6241Y single core cables with earth are essential components for domestic electrical installations requiring an earth continuity conductor (CPC). Both cable types feature a single insulated live conductor combined with a bare copper earth conductor, all enclosed within an outer sheath. This design eliminates the need for separate earth bonding in lighting circuits and other applications.
