Armoured Cable | SWA Cable | AWA Cable
Eland Cables is a leading aluminium wire and steel wire armoured cable supplier offering a comprehensive range of robust and hard-wearing Low Voltage armoured and Medium Voltage armoured cables manufactured in accordance with British, European and International standards and specifications.
These include low voltage and medium voltage SWA steel wire armour 3 core cable, and all sizes of these widely used armoured power cables with current ratings up to 33kV. For single core cables, aluminium wire armour - AWA - is used to prevent induced current in the armour. Armoured power cables are available with both copper and aluminium conductors as required. The armour provides additional protection where mechanical stress has the potential to cause damage to the cable, such as direct burial, outdoors or underground. The armour also enables the cable to withstand higher pulling loads. It should be noted, however, that the armour provides no protection for climatic conditions.
Armoured cables are often referred to as steel wire armoured cables, SWA cable, mains power cable, single core power cable, and multi-core booklet armoured cable.

Industrial Cable
Industrial cables cover a broad range of applications within the automation and manufacturing industries.
Commonly labelled as European control cables, this range encompasses both LSZH and PVC insulated and sheathed cables. Whilst covering a range of applications, they share characteristics in being robust and designed for moving, flexing machinery rather than fixed installations.
Control Cables
Control cables encompass a large family of cables for measurement and modulation applications, manufactured to various British, European and international Standards.
These include the widely used CY cable, SY cable, YY cable, and LiYCY & LiYY cables designed for a wide range of industrial process automation applications, including signal transmission, measurement, control and regulation. These control cables are often referred to by the application, such as machinery supply cable, motor cable and robotics cable. They are also known as multi-core cables, control flex and control flexible cables.
Depending on their construction properties, these flexible cables can be suitable for use under light, medium or high mechanical stresses. They also offer various degrees of protection against electrical interference and resistance to caustic substances and oils.
Solar Cables | Solar Panel Arrays
As solar cable specialists, we offer innovative solutions to projects which rely on both sustained operational performance with minimum maintenance and an efficient initial set up.
These photovoltaic cables cover the full range of cable interconnections between the solar panels and the wider components of the photovoltaic system including converter boxes, inverters, transformers, and local grid substations.
In response to a fast-growing need for energy and to government subsidies, the renewable energy industry in general, and the solar energy sector in particular, have been successfully developing new technologies to harness energy from our environment in order to supply ‘green’ power to local and national networks.
