5 Core SWA Cable is a type of electrical cable identified by its steel wire armour, which is inside the cable itself to protect the insulating layers beneath. It’s a type of mechanical protection, therefore it makes the cable suitable for outdoor use and laying underground.
Another use would be using Cable Cleats to attach the cable to walls etc.
Not only does the steel wire armour provide mechanical protection, it also means that the cable can have higher pulling loads.
