Cable structure CU/XLPE/SWA/PVC

in câble cu/swa/pvvc, equivalent of armored cable YJV32, consists of several technical layers ensuring both electrical performance, mechanical resistance and lasting protection against external attacks.

Cable element	Main material	Function and description
Driver	Copper receipt	Ensures excellent electrical conductivity and low resistance. Available in single-strand or multi-strand version depending on the section.
Isolation	XLPE	Offers high thermal resistance (until 90 °C) and excellent dielectric strength. Enables long-term reliable operation.
Inner sheath	PVC I or	Protects insulation and holds conductors in place. Also serves as an internal mechanical barrier.
Armor	Galvanized steel son (SWA – Steel Wire Armour)	Provides high mechanical protection against external shocks and pressures. Suitable for direct installation in trenches.
Outer sheath	nursing PVC (or LSZH on request)	Protects against humidity, chemicals and corrosion. High resistance to abrasion and UV rays.
