Used for power and control circuits, these cables offer excellent protection through the use of a heavy galvanised steel wire armour. The GSWA makes them suitable for use inside and outside buildings or for direct burial in the ground.

Plain copper wire conductors to BS 6360, class 2 (stranded), XLPE insulation, PVC inner sheath, Galvanised Steel Wire Armour, PVC sheath – Black.

Single core cables are supplied with an Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) in accordance with BS5467.
