Customization:
With steel tape armored (STA) construction, you can protect against mechanical damage and environmental exposure in industrial settings. The copper conductors ensure efficient power transmission, while PE/PVC insulation provides flexibility and durability.
With color-coded conductors (e.g., green, blue, red, yellow), you can easily identify and organize phases during installation and maintenance, reducing errors in complex electrical systems.
With core sizes ranging up to 16mm², you can handle high current loads, ensuring reliable power transmission in demanding industrial applications where continuous operation is critical.
With a standard 100m length, you can achieve long-distance power distribution in industrial or commercial settings, minimizing splice points and enhancing system reliability compared to shorter-length alternatives*.
With SAA certification, you can ensure compliance with rigorous safety and performance standards, providing peace of mind for commercial and industrial installations where regulatory adherence is mandatory.
The Factory STA Armored Cable is designed for industrial applications, featuring copper conductors with PE/PVC insulation and XLPE/PVC jackets. Available in 1.5mm² to 16mm² conductor sizes and 2–5 cores, it meets SAA certification standards for safety and reliability. Its robust design ensures efficient power transmission in demanding environments.

Category | Usage Scenarios | Characteristics | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|---|---|
Conductor Material | Industrial power distribution | Copper (99.9% purity, IEC 60228 ▲) | High conductivity, minimal energy loss (reduces heat buildup) | Costlier than aluminum; requires corrosion protection in harsh environments |
Insulation Type | Chemical exposure environments | PE/PVC insulation (meets ASTM D543 for 50+ chemical exposures ▲) | Flexible, resistant to oils/chemicals (e.g., gasoline, solvents) | Lower temperature tolerance (-15°C to +70°C) compared to XLPE |
Jacket Material | Outdoor installations | XLPE/PVC jacket (IP67 ingress protection ▲) | Durable against abrasion, UV, and moisture (ideal for underground use) | Heavier than PVC-only jackets; less flexible in extreme cold |
Core Configuration | Multi-phase power systems | 2–5 cores (customizable up to 32 cores ▲) | Scalable for varying power needs (e.g., 3-phase systems in factories) | More cores increase cable bulk and installation complexity |
Armor Type | High-mechanical stress areas | STA armored (steel tape, IEC 60245 ▲) | Protects against crushing/damage (e.g., in construction zones) | Adds weight and rigidity; harder to bend compared to unarmored cables |
Certification | EU/international projects | SAA certification (complies with AS/NZS 3000 ▲) | Ensures safety and reliability for EU/Asia-Pacific markets | May require additional certifications for non-SAA regions (e.g., UL in the US) |
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Whitaker - Industrial Maintenance Engineer
"We installed the 5-core 16mm² Pro Model in our manufacturing plant back in February 2025, and after 5 months of continuous operation, it’s performed flawlessly. The STA armored protection has held up against heavy machinery traffic and accidental impacts during maintenance. The copper conductors show no sign of overheating, even under full load. SAA and CE certifications gave us confidence for compliance audits."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Linda Patel - Electrical Contractor (Commercial Projects)
"Used the 3-core Advanced Model with PE insulation for a new office HVAC installation in October 2024. We needed something flexible yet durable for tight conduit runs—this delivered. The color-coded conductors made wiring faster and error-free. After 7 months, no insulation cracking or joint issues. The 100m reels reduced splices significantly, which improved system reliability."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Lee - Site Supervisor, Commercial Construction
"We’ve been using the 2-core Base Model for temporary site power since January 2025. Rugged doesn’t even begin to describe it. Dragged across gravel, exposed to rain, and run over by light equipment—still intact. The PVC jacket cleaned up easily with soapy water as recommended. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is that the armor makes bending in tight corners a bit tricky without proper tools."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Rodriguez - Smart Home Integrator
"For high-load residential systems like whole-home automation panels and EV chargers, I chose the 4mm² 5-core cable with XLPE jacket in December 2024. Eight months later, zero issues. The flexibility of the XLPE insulation made routing through walls much easier than expected for an armored cable. Plus, the flame-retardant properties gave homeowners peace of mind during inspection."Purchase Date: December 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dmitri Volkov - Automation Technician, Automotive Plant
"Our old cables kept failing due to vibration and oil exposure. Switched to the 10mm² 5-core STA armored cable with PE insulation in April 2025. Now six months in, not a single fault. The chemical resistance is outstanding—oil, coolant, even cleaning solvents haven’t degraded the jacket. Custom color coding helped standardize phase identification across all machines. This is now our plant-wide standard."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
Average Rating: 4.9/5 ⭐ (89 Reviews)
Eng. Rachel Simmons - Senior Electrical Engineer, Industrial Infrastructure
"For industrial power distribution where mechanical protection and current capacity are critical, the Pro Model with XLPE insulation and 16mm² copper conductors stands out. Its ability to handle 60A loads while maintaining thermal stability up to 105°C makes it ideal for data centers, mining operations, and automated production lines. The dual SAA/CE certification also simplifies cross-regional project compliance."
John Harper - Certified Electrical Safety Inspector
"After reviewing dozens of cabling solutions for commercial compliance, I consistently recommend this STA armored series. The combination of copper conductivity, flame-retardant materials, and steel tape armor exceeds AS/NZS 3000 and aligns with IEC 60245 standards. It’s one of the few cables that balances safety, performance, and adaptability across environments."
