EV Charging Power + Cat6A Data SWA LSZH Cable 0.6/1kV, 3 or 5 × 6mm²
Armoured EV charging cable that combines 0.6/1kV power cores with a screened Cat6A data element for charger power and flow monitoring: 3 or 5 × 6mm² copper, galvanised steel wire armour, LSZH inner and UV-resistant LSZH outer sheaths.

This cable combines the power cores and a screened Cat6A twisted data cable for an electric vehicle charging unit in one armoured construction. Three- or five-core 6 mm² copper power cores rated 0.6/1kV sit together with the Cat6A element under galvanised steel wire armour, a black LSZH inner sheath and a UV-resistant LSZH outer sheath.
The data element carries the signal a charger needs for flow monitoring, for example from a current transformer at the supply point, so the installer pulls one cable instead of a power cable and a separate data cable. The armour and LSZH sheaths suit external walls, tray and ladder routes, and direct burial or concrete where the route has the required mechanical protection.

Application & Features
Selection overview
Workplace, fleet-depot and car-park chargers are often fed from a distribution board some distance away, and the charger needs data from the supply side as well as power. Typical examples are load management based on a current transformer at the incoming supply, or a network link to a site controller. Running both in one armoured cable saves a second containment route and a second set of glands, and the 0.6/1kV data insulation allows the data element to share the cable with the power cores.
Choose the three-core version for single-phase chargers and the five-core version where the charger is fed three-phase. The steel wire armour gives mechanical protection for cables clipped to external walls, laid on tray or ladder, or buried where the route design allows it, and the LSZH sheaths limit smoke and corrosive gas where the cable passes through car parks and buildings. The armour must be terminated in suitable glands and bonded as the installation design requires.

Construction
Material and build-up
The cable is a round armoured construction. The power cores and the screened Cat6A data element are laid up together, covered by a black LSZH inner sheath, galvanised steel wire armour and a UV-resistant LSZH outer sheath.
- Power cores: Class 2 stranded copper, 6 mm², with XLPE insulation; three or five cores.
- Cat6A data conductors: Class 1 solid copper, AWG23, with PE insulation, twisted in pairs.
- Data screen: Al/PET tape with a tinned copper drain wire to protect the data signal from the adjacent power cores.
- Data sheath: LSZH orange sheath over the Cat6A element for easy identification at termination.
- Inner sheath: LSZH black inner sheath over the laid-up power cores and data element.
- Armour: Galvanised steel wire armour (SWA) for mechanical protection.
- Outer sheath: UV-resistant LSZH outer sheath for external routes.
FAQ
Selection questions
What is this cable used for?
It feeds an EV charging unit with power and, in the same cable, carries the data the charger uses for flow monitoring or communication. A common use is linking a current transformer at the supply point to the charger for load management, without running a separate data cable.
Should I choose three or five power cores?
Three power cores suit single-phase chargers; five cores suit chargers supplied three-phase. Both versions use 6 mm² power cores and the same Cat6A data element, and both are listed in the dimension table with their overall diameter and weight for gland sizing.
Do I need the armoured or the unarmoured version?
Use this SWA version for external walls, burial or concrete, and routes where the cable needs mechanical protection. For protected indoor routes the unarmoured Cat6A LSZH version is lighter and smaller.
How does it compare with the CAT5e armoured cable?
The SWA power and CAT5e data cable uses a CAT5e data element and PVC sheaths. This cable uses a screened Cat6A element and LSZH sheaths, which suits car parks and buildings where low smoke and zero halogen is specified.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send the number of power cores, quantity and cut lengths, the installation route (wall, tray, burial or concrete), the charger type and any CPR class or marking your project requires.

Quality Assurance
Testing at every stage in our own workshop and laboratory, from incoming copper to the packed drum.
Raw Material Inspection
Every batch of copper rod, rubber compound and reinforcing material is checked before it reaches the line.
- Copper: conductor resistance, elongation and surface condition on incoming rod and drawn wire
- EPR, CPE, PUR and silicone compounds: hardness, tensile strength, elongation and ageing samples from each mix
- Suppliers and batch numbers are recorded so every drum can be traced back to its materials
Manufacturing Process Control
Stranding, insulation extrusion, core assembly and sheathing run under recorded process parameters.
- Class 5/6 stranding with lay length and tension monitored for trailing and reeling flexibility
- Continuous-vulcanisation extrusion with wall thickness and spark tests logged on every length
- Operators sign off each stage before the cable moves to the next machine
Electrical Testing
Finished lengths go through the routine tests required by the referenced VDE, ICEA, IEC or NEK standard.
- Conductor resistance and insulation resistance on every length
- Voltage withstand (3.5 kV and higher) and partial-discharge measurement in the shielded HV laboratory
- Screen and pilot-core continuity checks for mining and reeling constructions
Mechanical and Ageing Tests
Samples from production are tested for the duty a mining, crane or submersible cable will actually see.
- Tensile strength and elongation of insulation and sheath before and after ageing
- Hot-set, ozone, oil-immersion and low-temperature bending tests
- Constant-temperature water bath for insulation resistance of submersible constructions
Flame Test and Final Inspection
Before packing, the cable is checked against the order and the flame-performance requirement of its standard.
- Single-cable vertical flame test to IEC 60332-1-2 where specified
- Metre marking, printing, drum length and appearance inspection
- Test report and packing list issued with every shipment
