Provide maximum protection and connectivity for your externally routed single-phase smart EV charger supply with the EV-Ultra™ SWA cable from Doncaster Cables. This heavy-duty cable features robust 3 Core 6.0mm² power conductors and an integrated Cat 5e data cable, all encased within protective Steel Wire Armour (SWA) and finished with a Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) outer sheath. It's the ideal choice when running cable underground or in areas requiring enhanced mechanical protection.
Steel Wire Armour for Ultimate Protection
The defining feature of this cable is its layer of galvanised Steel Wire Armour. This provides excellent protection against accidental damage from spades, picks, or crushing forces, making it suitable for direct burial in the ground according to wiring regulations (when installed correctly). This removes the need for installing separate ducting in many situations, saving time and cost for external charger installations fed from your distribution board.
Combined 6.0mm² Power and Cat 5e Data
Inside the armour, this cable contains 3 x 6.0mm² power cores (Live, Neutral, Earth) capable of handling higher power chargers or longer distances, plus a 4-pair Cat 5e UTP cable for reliable smart charger communications and network integration. The datasheet confirms LSHF materials are used for both the bedding and outer sheath, maximising fire safety performance.
Compliant and Convenient
Designed to meet the needs of BS 7671 section 722, this cable offers a compliant way to provide both power and data to outdoor charging points. Combining everything into one armoured cable simplifies the installation process compared to running separate armoured power and data cables.
