ELECTRICAL CABLE
Rados Cable supply a comprehensive range of robust and hard-wearing LV and MV electrical power cables such as AWA (aluminium wire armouring) and SWA (steel wire armouring) power cables. They are manufactured in accordance with British, European and International standards and specifications. As a specialist electrical cable supplier, we offer different material selections including Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polyethylene (PE), Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE), Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) and Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH).
Our electrical cables are installed across a number of industries ranging from construction to power transmission. They are widely used for power distribution from MV mains power supply to LV applications to connect residential and industrial complexes or renewable energy sources such as wind and solar farms. Electrical cables are available in specific length as well as in extended long lengths to facilitate installation and reduce the number of joints.
