2.5mm 2 Core Armoured Cable is a type of electrical cable used to supply mains voltage electricity for a variety of uses. As this cable is armoured, it is suitable for underground installations as the galvanised steel wire armour will protect the cores from damage.

If you’re looking to terminate this cable into a junction box or device of any kind, you’ll require CW20S outdoor glands or BW20S indoor glands. To attach the cable to a wall or structure, you’ll require CC6 cable cleats.

This cable is commonly found in a range of installations including the following;

  • Garden Lighting
  • Factory Lighting
  • LED Garden Lighting
  • Electric Gates
  • Security Lighting

If you still need to work out what size cable it is you need, please follow this for our Armoured Cable Calculator. PLEASE NOTE; this is an approximation, if you don’t know what cable size it is you require, please contact a qualified electrician so they can consult the regulations and confirm.

Description

2.5mm 2 Core Armoured Cable

2.5mm 2 Core Armoured Cable is commonly found supplying mains voltage electricity to powered devices and networks. For example, it could be used to power outdoor buildings such as garden sheds or workshops as well as garden features such as jacuzzi/hot tubs.The cable contains a steel wire armour, meaning it provides a mechanical protection for the insulating layers underneath. This also enables the cable to have higher pulling loads, making it perfectly suitable for dispensing from a cable drum on a building site, etc. It's construction is commonly identified by the plain annealed stranded copper for the cores, the PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for the bedding and sheathing, armour made from steel wire and XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) for the insulation. The Steel Wire can also be used as a CPC (Circuit Protective Conductor), meaning the armour can be used an earth for the cable. This means that even though the cable doesn't have an earth core (green/yellow), it is still protected, meaning it abides by all health and safety regulations.
