Hughes Armoured (SWA) Cable

Armoured Cables (SWA)

Steel wire armoured power cables engineered for direct burial and harsh environments.

Hughes Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) cables deliver heavy-duty power distribution with galvanised steel wire armour for robust mechanical protection in direct burial and industrial installations. The armour layer protects inner conductors from impact, crushing forces, and ground movement while also providing earth continuity and electromagnetic screening. Designed for fixed mains power distribution, SWA construction removes the need for additional mechanical protection such as conduit or trunking. With XLPE insulation and durable outer sheathing, these cables withstand moisture, abrasion, and corrosive conditions for long-term performance.
