What is 16mm 2 Core SWA Cable ?
16mm 2 Core SWA Cable or Steel wire armoured cable is a hard-wearing cable made up of Black PVC Sheath, xlpe insulation, copper conductors and steel wire armouring. 16mm 2 Core SWA Cable is designed for mains electricity for laying underground, power networks, incoming mains to homes amongst a host of other applications externally and internally.
16mm 2 Core SWA Cable is also handy as it allows the user to use the cable for direct burial and the armour enables the cable to withstand higher pulling loads.The XLPE insulation is resistant to a number of different fluids, chemicals and has good heat stability.

16mm 2 Core SWA Cable Classification :
According to the different insulating materials, 16mm 2 Core SWA Cable is divided into PVC SWA cable, XLPE SWA cable and XLPE SWA LSF cable. The application of XLPE swa cable is MV armour cable and LV armour cable. And its maximum operating temperature is 90 degrees Celsius. PVC swa cable application is just LV armour cable. And its maximum operating temperature is 70 degrees Celsius. The insulation material of the XLPE SWA LSF cable is made of low-smoke and halogen-free XLPE insulation.
16mm 2 Core SWA Cable Advantages :
The rodents can and will chew through cables, so the armor layer can protects the 16mm 2 Core SWA Cable from damage from the animal and shoveling in direct bury applications. Last, the swa cable would suite for in the RF environment that the armor when grounded can provide another layer of RF protection. Because of these reasons, 16mm 2 Core SWA Cable become more and more popular in the international market .
