Secure Power Launches Custom 25mm SWA Cable for Reliable Performance

During stormy nights when garden lights flicker unpredictably, electric gates emit frustrating grinding noises, and security systems fail like startled birds, have you ever felt a pang of unease? These irritating scenarios often stem from unstable power supply—a hidden hazard lurking in the shadows, ready to disrupt daily life and undermine safety.

The solution to these power reliability challenges lies in selecting superior cabling. The 25mm² two-core steel wire armored (SWA) cable isn't merely a conductor—it serves as an impenetrable backbone for electrical systems, delivering unparalleled protection against environmental and mechanical stresses.

Consider returning home after an exhausting workday, anticipating a peaceful evening, only to confront complete darkness from a power outage. With proper SWA cabling, such distressing scenarios become relics of the past, replaced by consistent, dependable electricity flow.

This specialized cable features a multi-layer protective architecture:

• Conductors: Multi-stranded copper cores ensuring optimal conductivity and flexibility
• Insulation: XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) providing exceptional thermal resistance (up to 90°C) and electrical insulation
• Armoring: Steel wire reinforcement offering superior mechanical protection against crushing and impact forces
• Sheathing: PVC outer layer delivering weather, corrosion, and fire resistance

The steel armor functions as protective exoskeleton, withstanding 146A current loads while resisting damage from construction equipment, vehicular traffic, or environmental pressures—ideal for direct burial without conduit protection.

From subterranean installation to industrial settings, the cable maintains performance integrity across temperature extremes (-15°C to 90°C) and challenging conditions including moisture, chemical exposure, and UV radiation.

Manufactured to BS5467 standards, the cable meets rigorous British specifications for electrical safety and construction quality, incorporating color-coded cores (brown/blue) for proper polarity identification during installation.

• Perimeter security systems (gates, surveillance cameras)
• Landscape lighting circuits
• Industrial power distribution
• Outdoor equipment power supply
• Building-to-building underground connections

Proper implementation requires attention to:

• Voltage drop calculations over extended runs
• Appropriate termination using weatherproof glands
• Secure mounting with corrosion-resistant cable cleats
• Compliance with local electrical codes

Professional installation by qualified electricians remains mandatory for safety and warranty compliance. Regular inspections should verify insulation integrity and connection security, particularly after extreme weather events.

• Overall diameter: 20.4mm
