Product Overview
Aluminum wire armored (AWA) cable is widely used for industrial wiring and mains power distribution. It can be installed directly in the ground, in ducts, clipped to surfaces, on cable trays, in free air, or embedded in concrete. This cable offers excellent mechanical protection and corrosion resistance for demanding environments.
