A 2.5 mm2 10-core armored cable is a multi-core electrical cable designed for control, distribution, and industrial wiring, where multiple circuits are needed in one cable with added mechanical protection.
• Conductor Size:
Each core has a cross-sectional area of 2.5 mm2, suitable for moderate current loads.
• Number of Cores:
Contains 10 individual insulated conductors, allowing it to carry multiple signals or phases in one cable.
• Conductor Material:
Usually made of copper (for better conductivity) or sometimes aluminum.
• Insulation:
Each core is insulated with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) for electrical safety and heat resistance.
• Armouring:
Protected by steel wire armouring (SWA) or steel tape, which:
• Provides mechanical protection
• Prevents damage from impact or pressure
