Galvanised Steel Wire Braid – GSWB

Leading manufacturer of Galvanised Steel Wire Braided cables.

A galvanised steel wire braid also commonly known as a GSWB or a galvanised wire braid armoured cable is a lighter duty alternative to a traditional armoured cable  when mechanical protection is needed but a flexible armoured cable is required.

This alternative to traditional steel wire armoured cable enables much improved flexibility, a considerably lighter cable from an installation point of view and also the ability to significantly reduce the overall diameter of the finished cable where space is paramount.

Galvanised steel wire braids should only be used for protection against mechanical factors as opposed to EMI cable shielding which protects against interference from external sources.

The diameter of the steel wires combined with the number count determines the amount of mechanical damage that the cable can withstand.

Further enhancing an existing cable

At CDC Ltd, if you require a flexible armoured cable, you have alternative options available to you. We can either design a cable from the ground up and offer mechanical protection as a part of the cable construction, or we can apply it to a pre-existing cable as a part of our cable enhancements service which has been free issued to us.

After we have discussed your requirements, we will offer advise on the correct braid coverage and wire diameters required to achieve the correct level of mechanical protection whilst advising on the weight and dimensional implications of adding this protection.

After the protection has been added to the cable, we can then finish the cable by adding the final cable jacket in a wide variety of colours and materials to suit your requirements.

Finally, we offer a cable printing  service which enables you to add either your own branding or health and safety references in respect of the individual cable.

Our excellent customer service and fast turnaround times are the cornerstone of the service that we offer. We maintain constant communication with our clients throughout each project to ensure that all products are delivered on time and to the highest quality standard, even for the most challenging deadlines.
