Product Information

The 3 Core 16.0mm SWA Cable (Blue, Brown, Green/Yellow) 1 Metre is a heavy-duty electrical cable designed for use in outdoor or underground environments. It is commonly used in industrial and commercial applications, and is suitable for powering heavy-duty equipment and machinery.

The cable consists of three individual insulated conductors, each with a cross-sectional area of 16.0mm. The conductors are made of high-quality copper, which provides excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion.

The insulation on each conductor is color-coded for easy identification: blue for neutral, brown for live, and green/yellow for earth. This makes it easy to identify and connect the correct wires when installing the cable.

The cable is also armored with steel wire armor (SWA) for added protection against physical damage, moisture, and other environmental factors. This makes it suitable for use in harsh outdoor or underground environments, where it may be exposed to extreme temperatures, moisture, or corrosive substances.

This particular cable is sold in 1-meter lengths, which makes it easy to order the exact length of cable you need for your project. It is also available in longer lengths if needed.

Overall, the 3 Core 16.0mm SWA Cable (Blue, Brown, Green/Yellow) 1 Metre is a high-quality, heavy-duty cable that is ideal for use in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
