Class 2 stranded copper conductor with a galvanized steel wire armour layer between PVC insulation and outer sheath, for underground feeds and outdoor 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.

Frequently asked
What is the price of 6mm 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 6mm armoured cable used for?
Underground feeds for larger domestic loads and small commercial supply, and outdoor runs along walls or boundary fences. It carries 46 A with two loaded conductors on method C, and 41 A with three loaded conductors.
Can I get 6mm 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.
