Flexible Cables
Flexible cables are fine-stranded, multi-core copper cables with PVC insulation and sheath, engineered for safe power and control connections to portable tools, appliances, and light machinery. Supplied by Gulf Basic Trading, these flexible cables are ideal for workshops, factories, commercial sites, and temporary power setups where frequent movement, vibration, and tight routing are expected.
Product Overview
Flexible cables are multi-core cables with fine-stranded copper conductors and PVC insulation, designed for safe power and control connections to portable tools, appliances, and light machinery. Their flexible construction makes them easy to bend and route in tight spaces, while PVC insulation and sheath provide electrical safety and basic mechanical protection.
These cables are widely used in workshops, factories, commercial sites, and temporary power setups where equipment is moved or vibrated during normal operation. Available from Gulf Basic Trading with nationwide delivery to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and other major cities, including Qiddiya and Diriyah Gate.

Usage Instructions
- Select cable size, number of cores, and voltage rating based on equipment load, length, and installation method as per your electrical design.
- Use flexible cables for portable tools, appliances, and equipment where bending and movement occur; avoid areas with heavy mechanical abuse unless protected.
- Route cables so they are supported, not pinched or sharply bent, and protect them from sharp edges and hot surfaces.
- Use suitable glands, plugs, and terminations designed for flexible conductors and tighten to the recommended torque.
- Do not substitute flexible cables for fixed building wiring (single-core/armored) where regulations require rigid installation methods.
- Inspect cables regularly for cuts, abrasion, cracking, or damage to the sheath and replace immediately if any defect is found.

Armored Cables
Armored cables are low-voltage power cables with copper or aluminium conductors, XLPE/PVC insulation, and a steel wire armour layer, designed for underground and heavy-duty industrial power distribution. Supplied by Gulf Basic Trading, these armored cables are ideal for direct burial, ducts, cable trays, and exposed routes where mechanical protection and long service life are essential. Product Overview: Armored cables use copper or aluminium conductors with XLPE or PVC insulation, protective bedding, a steel wire or steel tape armour layer, and an outer PVC or LSZH sheath. The metallic armour gives extra mechanical protection against impact, crushing, and accidental digging damage, making these cables suitable for harsh environments. These cables are commonly used in low-voltage (LV) electrical distribution systems for industrial plants, commercial buildings, infrastructure projects, and utility networks where reliable underground or exposed power distribution is required. They are designed to keep power flowing reliably in tough conditions like rocky ground, plant yards, and high-traffic utility corridors.
