What is the difference between armoured and unarmoured cable?
Armoured cables have an additional protective metal layer that shields the inner conductors from physical damage, moisture, and external impact. Unarmoured cables do not have this layer and are mainly used for indoor and low-risk installations.
Armoured cables are available in multiple sizes such as 2.5 sqmm, 4 sqmm, 6 sqmm, 10 sqmm, and higher, depending on load requirements. They are also available in 2 core, 3 core, and 4 core configurations for residential, commercial, and industrial use.
The price of armoured cable per meter depends on the size, number of cores, conductor material (copper or aluminium), and brand. Heavy-duty industrial cables typically cost more due to higher current capacity and protection standards.
For underground installation, heavy-duty steel wire armoured (SWA) cables are recommended. These cables offer strong mechanical protection, moisture resistance, and long service life, making them ideal for outdoor and buried electrical systems.
