Steel wire armoured (swa – fire retardant)

SWA (FR) is used as main power distribution in general industries, houses and commercial buildings. It is suitable for direct burial installations as well as in air or ducts with no further protection. SWA (FR) is constructed with high conductivity annealed stranded copper conductors, XLPE/PVC insulated cores, PVC bedded, galvanized steel wire armouring and finally sheathed with flame retardant PVC to prevent the spread of fire.
