Armored low-smoke XLPE cables add a metallic sheath for moisture, impact, and mechanical protection, while low-smoke XLPE insulation produces less smoke in a fire. They are suitable for commercial buildings, evacuation routes, and critical areas in Riyadh, Jeddah, and other Saudi cities.
Yes, when they meet Saudi standards and carry suitable test certificates. The metallic armor improves crush resistance, soil load tolerance, and mechanical durability, making them well suited to outdoor runs, underground trays, and Saudi heat and humidity, especially when specified correctly.
Common ratings often go up to 1,500 volts, with cross-sections ranging from small service sizes to larger power-carrying sections. The best size depends on project load, route, ambient temperature, and Saudi site conditions, so selection should follow the electrical design to reduce thermal loss.
Matkel supplies cables aligned with Saudi requirements and can provide conformity certificates and test documents on request. Insulation and fire-performance data can also be shared, helping specifiers confirm that the cable is suitable for commercial and industrial projects across the Kingdom.
Price varies by cross-section, voltage rating, roll length, and delivery scope. Matkel can provide contractor and bulk pricing for projects in Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province. Requesting a clear quotation including supply and VAT helps you estimate the true project cost accurately.
