FAQ

Is SWA the same as “armoured”?
SWA stands for Steel Wire Armoured — the most common armouring method for external and direct-burial Cat6 installations. Always check individual product specifications.

Can armoured Cat6 be buried directly?
Many SWA Cat6 cables are suitable for direct burial when paired with the correct PE jacket and installation method.

Does armouring affect performance?
No. With full-copper conductors and correct Cat6 construction, Gigabit performance is maintained. Shielded variants can help in high-EMI environments.
