Armoured Cable

Armoured cable has a steel-wire layer between two insulation layers. The armour protects the conductor from impact, rodents, and soil pressure, where a standard cable would be too exposed.

Drawn on the Pilone line in Lahore, 4 to 95 mm². Underground feeds, outdoor runs, and industrial installations that need mechanical protection.

Each size has its own page with the specification and the current factory rate.

When to choose armoured cable

UNDERGROUND

Underground feeds

From the meter to a house, or between buildings. The armour resists soil pressure and digging damage.

INDUSTRIAL

Industrial plants

Cable trays and floor runs where machines or vehicles can hit the cable.

OUTDOOR

Outdoor runs

Along walls or fences where rodent damage is a risk.

Which size do you need

Size still follows the load and the run length; the armour adds protection, not capacity. Start with the calculator, or compare armoured against a standard cable.

The sizes side by side

Conductor resistance and strand construction per IEC 60228 class 2; current capacity per BS 7671 reference method C (clipped direct), 30°C ambient, PVC insulation, 70°C conductor — the base conductor rating before the steel-wire armour and bedding. Armoured cable is commonly buried or run in trays, which uses a different reference method and derating; verify the size with a licensed electrician for your installation.
Size (mm²) Strands R at 20°C (Ω/km) Current, 2 core (A) Current, 3 core (A) Typical job

Current capacity depends on how the cable is installed. A buried cable, a cable in a tray with others, or a run through hot ground carries less than the table shows. Have a licensed electrician confirm the size for your load and installation method, or start with the cable size calculator.
