Unarmoured cables are electrical cables that do not feature a protective metal sheath, making them a flexible and cost-effective solution for various electrical installations. These cables are ideal for environments where mechanical protection is not essential. Typically used in domestic, commercial, and industrial settings, unarmoured cables are designed for applications that do not face significant physical threats.

Constructed with conductors made from copper or aluminum, unarmoured cables utilize insulation materials like PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) to prevent electrical leakage and short circuits. The outer sheath of the cable provides basic protection against moisture, dirt, and chemicals, but lacks the heavy-duty shielding seen in armoured cables.

Common uses of unarmoured cables include indoor wiring for lighting circuits, power distribution, and control systems. They are often used in fixed installations where the cables are housed in conduit or trunking, providing additional safety. Unarmoured cables are particularly well-suited for applications in low-risk environments, such as residential buildings, offices, solar power systems, and signal transmission.

For applications requiring enhanced thermal resistance, electrical performance, or environmental durability, XLPE-insulated unarmoured cables are a top choice, especially in high-voltage scenarios.

While unarmoured cables are perfect for many standard applications, they are not suitable for environments exposed to physical damage. In such cases, armoured cables should be considered for added protection.

Whether you require XLPE, PVC, or another type of insulated unarmoured cable, our high-quality products deliver dependable, cost-effective solutions for your electrical needs.
