What is 6mm 4 Core SWA Cable?
6mm 4 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.6mm 4 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.
6mm 4 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.

6mm 4 Core SWA Cable Construction :
Conductor: Class 2 Plain Stranded Copper (Cu) Conductor
Insulation: Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) is used as insulation in many power cables, due to its excellent electrical properties and water resistance. It also ensures that conductors and other metal substances do not come into contact with each other.
Bedding: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is used as bedding to provide a protective boundary between inner and outer layers of the cable.
Armouring: Steel Wire Armour (SWA) used for mechanical protection. That way the cable can withstand higher stresses, be buried directly and used in external or underground projects.
Sheath: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Sheath holds all the components together and provides additional protection from external damage.
6mm 4 Core SWA Cable Advantages :
If you use the 6mm 4 Core SWA Cable in some public places, for example: medium school, big hospitals, plaza etc. You must buy the LSZF (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) 6mm 4 Core SWA Cable or LSHF Cable (Low Smoke Halogen Free) that its insulation materials are low-pressure halogen-free fireproof. The LSHF 6mm 4 Core SWA Cable will is very safer than other common 6mm 4 Core SWA Cable. Especially, once there is a danger fire hazard. So, that’s why the LSHF 6mm 4 Core SWA Cable prices is higher than other cables. But, you also testing the insulation’s flame retardant and fire resistance before bury the cable.
