Casitek® loose tube FO cables is the best choice for industrial installations, as they are specifically designed for both indoor and outdoor environments. These lightweight fibre optic cables are highly flexible, offer enhanced mechanical durability, provide UV protection, are water-resistant, and are quick and easy to install.
INDUSTRIAL
Industrial facilities demand cables that endure mechanical stress, extreme temperatures, and chemical exposure without interruption. Our armoured and fire-resistant solutions are built for continuous operation in refineries, processing plants, and heavy manufacturing — where downtime is never an option.

SWA cables feature steel wires wound around the inner bedding. Steel provides excellent mechanical protection against physical damage and high pulling tension. However, steel is a ferromagnetic material. If you pass a single-phase alternating current (AC) through a single-core SWA cable, it induces a magnetic field in the steel armour. This creates eddy currents and severe overheating, which can melt the insulation. Therefore, SWA is strictly used for multi-core cables (2-core, 3-core, 4-core, etc.), where the opposing magnetic fields of the cores cancel each other out.
AWA cables use aluminium wires instead of steel. Because aluminium is non-magnetic, it does not generate eddy currents or suffer from magnetic heating when a single-phase AC current passes through it. This makes AWA the standard and safe choice for single-core AC cables, which are often used in high-voltage power distribution networks.
