Picture this scenario: a critical power line must traverse damp underground conduits, endure harsh outdoor conditions, and withstand unexpected mechanical impacts. Inadequate cable protection could lead to significant safety hazards and financial losses. With BS5467 standard armored power cables, these concerns become a thing of the past, ensuring secure and reliable power transmission.

Key Product Advantages

All-Weather Protection for Extreme Conditions

• Steel Wire Armor (SWA): Provides superior mechanical protection against external impacts and pressure, safeguarding cables in complex installation environments.
• Medium-Density Polyethylene (MDPE) Outer Sheath: Delivers excellent moisture resistance, effectively preventing water ingress even in damp underground or outdoor locations. Particularly suitable for moisture-prone areas like highways.
• Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Insulation: Offers outstanding heat resistance and electrical properties, maintaining stable insulation performance under high temperatures for safe power transmission.

Versatile Application Scenarios

Compatible with various installation methods including open-air laying, tray installation, cable trench laying, and direct burial. Suitable for industrial, commercial, residential, and transportation sectors.

Stringent Compliance

Manufactured in strict accordance with BS5467 standards, passing BS EN/IEC 60228 and BS EN/IEC 60332-1-2 tests to guarantee product quality and safety.
