NCI 4-Core & 5-Core PVC/PVC Copper Cable – Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) | BS 6346
NCI 4-core & 5-core PVC/PVC copper SWA armoured cable, BS 6346, 0.6/1kV. 4C: 1.5–400mm², 5C: 1.5–70mm². For UAE 3-phase+N installations. Aswan Elect UAE.
NCI 4-Core and 5-Core PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed Copper Cables with Steel Wire Armour (SWA) are manufactured to BS 6346 at 0.6/1 kV by National Cables Industry, Sharjah UAE. ESMA Emirates Quality Mark and BASEC certified, these multicore cables are ideal for complete three-phase power distribution systems requiring a neutral conductor (4-core: 3-phase + neutral) or full five-wire TN-S earthing systems (5-core: 3-phase + neutral + earth).
The 4-core range extends from 1.5mm² to 400mm² and the 5-core range from 1.5mm² to 70mm². With sectoral stranded (sm) conductors in larger sizes for optimal current density, and heavy-gauge steel wire armour for mechanical protection, these cables are a go-to solution for power boards, distribution panels, and main feeder circuits on UAE construction and infrastructure projects.
Widely used in DEWA/SEWA compliant installations across commercial, industrial and residential developments throughout the Emirates.
