SWA cables typically consist of:
- Conductors: Copper or aluminum conductors insulated with materials such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene).
- Steel Wire Armor: A layer of galvanized steel wires wound helically around the insulated conductors, providing mechanical protection.
- Outer Sheath: A PVC or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath that protects against moisture and environmental factors.
