Yes. Armored aluminum cables use strong insulation and a moisture-resistant outer sheath, plus a metal armor that resists compression and mechanical damage. This makes them common for buried supply lines and outdoor feeder routes in Saudi Arabia, provided you follow the correct burial depth and local installation standards.
Copper carries more current at the same size and usually costs more. Aluminum is lighter and lower in price, but may need larger cross-sections or suitable terminators to reduce voltage drop. Choose the size based on load, run length, and expected current so the feeder performs safely.
It can work for short or medium feeders, but suitability depends on distance, load type, and ambient temperature. Before ordering, check the maximum current and voltage drop. In Riyadh and hot outdoor areas, review the cable’s derated rating for buried or air-exposed use.
These cables typically use steel-wire or metal-tape armor to resist pressure, vibration, and impact. For buried use, the armor should be corrosion-protected and suitable for outdoor or damp locations, especially in sites exposed to heat, salt, or changing weather conditions across Saudi regions.
Yes, Matkel can supply full rolls and bulk quantities of armored aluminum cable. Prices are shown by size, length, and insulation type. The VAT invoice and shipping cost can be confirmed before checkout, and the cable data can be checked before delivery to your project site.
