Class 2 stranded copper conductor with a galvanized steel wire armour layer between PVC insulation and outer sheath, for underground feeds and industrial runs that need mechanical protection. Made on the Pilone line in Lahore.
Prices track the daily copper rate. Coil and bulk pricing on request.
Specifications
Conductor resistance per IEC 60228 class 2. Current capacity and voltage drop per BS 7671, installation reference method C (clipped direct), 30°C ambient, PVC insulation, taken as the nearest published reference for armoured construction. Voltage rating and armour build are typical for PVC/SWA/PVC cable — confirm the exact construction with Pilone Cables. Derate for grouping and higher ambient temperature. Verify sizing with a licensed electrician for your installation.

Current capacity depends on how the cable is installed. Derate for grouping and high ambient temperature. Have a licensed electrician confirm the size for your load and run length — or start with the cable size calculator.
How far a 35 mm² run can go
Voltage drop sets the longest run before lights dim and motors struggle. BS 7671 allows 3% on lighting circuits and 5% on other circuits; on a 230 V single-phase supply that is 6.9 V and 11.5 V. At this cable's 1.25 mV/A/m, the longest one-way run is:
Longest one-way run for 35 mm² armoured cable, single-phase 230 V, at 1.25 mV/A/m. Loads shown up to the cable's 138 A capacity. Three-phase circuits allow longer runs.

Check your own load and length with the voltage drop calculator. Every 100 m of each core holds 31.1 kg of copper; cable is priced from the day's copper rate, which is why each size up costs more.

Frequently asked
What is the price of 35mm armoured cable in Pakistan?
The price moves with the daily copper rate, so we quote it the day you order. We sell factory-direct from Lahore, with no dealer margin on top. Message us on WhatsApp for today's price per meter.
What is 35mm armoured cable used for?
Distribution feeders and machine connections in industrial plants, and larger underground feeds between buildings. It carries 138 A with two loaded conductors on method C, and 119 A with three loaded conductors.
Can I get 35mm armoured cable delivered?
Yes. We dispatch from Lahore — courier for single coils, transport for bulk. Punjab arrives in 1–2 days, the rest of Pakistan in 2–4 days. See delivery details.
