Steel Wire Armoured Cables for Underground Installations

Cables going underground or running through rough areas need mechanical protection as well as a good electrical specification. AP Technology supplies steel wire armoured cable for these installations, and also provides over armouring on suitable standard cables. Uses range from utilities and solar farms to industrial estates and external plant. Glands play an important role in armoured runs, so they should be specified with the cable to make sure the armour is terminated and the entry is properly sealed. Dynamic control and automation cable is designed for instrumentation, power and control duties where the cable has to flex and move throughout its operation. The range includes a variety of conductor sizes, screening and jacketing options, and most styles are offered with UL and CSA approvals. Available manufacturing approvals through partners include UL and CSA, VDE, Desina and Lloyd's Register, depending on the cable selected. Getting cable right starts with how it will actually be used.

Fixed installation, drag chain travel, continuous bending and torsion all ask different things of a conductor, screen and sheath. Sheath material then comes down to the surroundings, whether that means oil, UV, direct burial or a space where low smoke zero halogen material is preferred. The AP Technology team starts with the application and works back to the construction. A team of technical sales engineers can help with design, sourcing, manufacture and delivery. Whether you need a handful of connectors for a repair or a repeat programme of tested assemblies, AP Technology works as a one stop shop for interconnect products. Standard items and customised products can sit on the same order and the same account. Need a price or some technical advice on steel wire armoured cables for underground installations?
