Larger cross-sections carry higher loads over longer distances with less voltage drop. This 3-core 4.0mm² cable is sized for three-phase (without neutral) or single-phase-with-earth power distribution — always have your electrical consultant or a licensed electrician confirm the exact size against the circuit's load, run length, and installation method (buried, in duct, on tray, or in free air) before ordering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I order an exact length, and how is the price calculated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — this cable is sold per metre, so you can order the exact length required for your run (plus a reasonable allowance for routing, terminations, and jointing). The listed price is per metre; simply set the quantity to the number of metres you need and the total is calculated automatically at checkout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow is XLPE\/SWA armoured cable different from RR Kabel's PVC Flexible Cable range?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePVC Flexible Cable is an unarmoured, stranded-conductor cable meant for indoor wiring to fixed appliances and equipment where the cable is protected from mechanical damage. This XLPE\/SWA cable adds a galvanised steel wire armour layer and XLPE insulation rated for higher temperatures, making it suitable for underground, direct-burial, and exposed outdoor runs where mechanical protection and higher thermal performance are required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the SWA (Steel Wire Armour) layer protect against, and why is it needed for underground or direct-burial installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe galvanised steel wire armour sits between the inner PVC bedding and the outer PVC sheath, forming a mechanically robust layer around the insulated cores. It protects the cable against crushing, impact, and abrasion from backfill material, ground movement, and accidental damage from digging tools during and after installation — risks that an unarmoured cable cannot withstand underground. The armour also provides a continuous earth continuity conductor and some resistance to rodent damage. This is why SWA construction is specified for direct-in-ground burial, duct runs exposed to soil movement, and other installations where the cable cannot be visually inspected or easily protected by conduit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this cable need to be installed by a licensed electrician?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. XLPE\/SWA armoured power cable is fixed electrical infrastructure and must be installed, terminated (including correct armour glanding and earthing), and connected by a licensed electrician in accordance with UAE wiring regulations and the relevant cable standard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"RRKabel","offers":[{"title":"Per Metre","offer_id":44128259768419,"sku":"RR-ARM-3C-4.0-NAT","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/6570\/1475\/files\/3-core-35mm-swa-cable-logo_6c971503-6701-4c21-9343-6fa999febf51.jpg?v=1786966153","url":"https:\/\/www.deluxeuae.com\/products\/rr-xlpe-swa-armoured-cable-3c-x-4-0mm","provider":"Deluxe Electricals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
