What is armoured cable?

Armoured cable is a rugged electrical cable designed for protection in harsh environments. It consists of insulated conductors surrounded by a metal armour layer—typically steel wire armour (SWA) or steel tape armour (STA)—and an outer jacket. The armour provides strong mechanical protection against impact, compression, abrasion, and even rodent damage, making it suitable for outdoor, underground, and industrial installations. Armoured cables are available in single-core or multicore configurations and are offered with various jackets such as PVC, LSZH (low smoke zero halogen), or polyethylene (PE). For voltage ratings, you’ll commonly see 450/750V or higher in industrial applications. RS Components offers a wide selection of armoured cables to meet different installation needs, from harsh outdoor environments to trench and conduit runs.

What are the main types of armoured cable available?

Armoured cables come in several armour and jacket combinations to suit different settings and standards. Common types include:

SWA (Steel Wire Armour) cables: Steel wire forms a flexible protective layer around multicore or single-core conductors, ideal for underground and outdoor use with PVC or LSZH jackets.
STA (Steel Tape Armour) cables: A steel tape wrap provides robust protection with excellent crush resistance, often paired with PVC or LSZH jackets for harsh environments.
AA (Aluminium Armour) cables: Lighter than steel armour, used where weight is a concern while still offering mechanical protection.
Single-core vs multicore: Single-core armoured cables are common for fixed installations and long runs; multicore armoured cables are used for power distribution and control circuits.
Jacket options: PVC jackets are widely used for cost-effective protection, while LSZH jackets reduce smoke and toxic gas release in a fire scenario. Some cables are UV-rated for outdoor use, and others are designed for underground installations with moisture barriers.

How do I choose the right armoured cable for my project?

Choosing the correct armoured cable depends on a few key factors. First, determine the voltage and current requirements of the installation and select a conductor size and core configuration (single-core or multicore) that meets or exceeds those needs. Then decide on the armour type based on mechanical protection requirements: SWA for rugged outdoor or underground runs, STA for high crush resistance, or AA when weight is a consideration. Consider the environment and installation method—underground, conduit, or tray—and pick a jacket that suits temperature, chemical exposure, and fire performance (PVC for general use; LSZH where low smoke emission is critical). Pay attention to installation standards and regional wiring rules (for example, IEC/EN standards for low-voltage power cables). Finally, ensure compatibility with terminations, glands, and connectors designed to accommodate armour and jacket thickness. RS Components provides guidance and a broad range of armoured cables to cover these scenarios.

Where is armoured cable typically used?

Armoured cables are chosen for environments where mechanical protection is essential. Typical applications include:

Underground feeders and trench installations
Outdoor power distribution and building sites
Industrial machinery and factory wiring
Mining, offshore platforms, and renewable energy installations
Cable runs in dusty, wet, or corrosive environments
Locations requiring extra protection against rodents and abrasion

These cables are common in electrical distribution networks, control panels, and anywhere a robust, reliable connection is required. RS Components stocks armoured cables suitable for these use cases, with various jacket materials and armour options to match your project needs.

How should armoured cable be installed and terminated?

Safe and compliant installation of armoured cable involves planning for protection, strain relief, and secure termination. Key steps include:

Protective routing: avoid sharp edges; use conduits, trays, and appropriate supports to minimize movement and wear.
Bending and curvature: follow manufacturer minimum bend radii to prevent internal damage to conductors and insulation.
Underground installations: use suitable trench depths, moisture barriers, and correct backfill to prevent water ingress and mechanical damage.
Termination: select glands and connectors rated for armour type and jacket thickness; ensure seals are intact to maintain IP ratings.
Testing: perform insulation resistance and continuity checks after installation, and verify that terminations are tight and protected from moisture and dust.
Safety and compliance: adhere to local electrical codes and standards (for example IEC/EN standards for low voltage armoured cables) and use PPE during handling and installation.

If in doubt, consult the RS Components technical documentation or contact a licensed electrician. Proper selection of armour, jacket, and termination accessories is critical for long-term performance and safety.

What related products should I consider alongside armoured cable?

To complete a robust installation, consider these related items:

Cable glands and termination kits: For armour and jacket accommodation and IP-rated sealing.
Conduits, trays, and fittings: To route armoured cables securely and protect them from damage.
Junction boxes and accessories: For safe splices and terminations in enclosures.
Cable connectors and lugs: For reliable terminations at equipment terminals.
Pulling tapes, liners, and lubricants: To ease installation in long runs and through conduits.
Miniature circuit breakers and protection devices: To complement power distribution in armoured cable circuits.

RS Components offers a wide range of armoured cables together with these accessories to support outdoor, underground, and industrial projects.

What testing and standards apply to armoured cables?

Armoured cables typically comply with regional and international standards for electrical cables and safety. Look for cables rated to low-voltage standards with appropriate insulation and jacket materials. Common references include:

IEC/EN standards for low-voltage power cables and armoured configurations
Standards addressing insulation resistance, voltage rating, and conductor sizing
Safety and flame performance guidelines for jackets (for example LSZH requirements and PVC jacket performance in fire scenarios)
Standards for mechanical protection and armour integrity under soil and installation conditions

Always choose cables with the appropriate conformity marks and documentation for your region, and verify compatibility with termination hardware and protective enclosures. RS Components lists armoured cables with full specification sheets to assist in compliance and procurement.
