Terms and Conditions

Whilst the objective of this site is to give an informative guide to Armada Marine Cables Ltd range of cables, terminated assemblies and cable connectors, it is worth remembering that additional information and assistance is available by calling our technical sales on +44 (0) 330 0555 771 or emailing sales@armadacables.com

Frequent product updates and additions will appear on the website, together with useful links to manufacturing partners sites and cable selection tools. Product updates and design changes are a continual process of our business, and as such, render most media lagging behind those cables that are available now. It always pays to check with us first.

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained within this website is accurate, specifications may vary or be subject to change at Armada's discretion. As such, this site should be used as a guide only. Exact details can be confirmed at point of enquiry. Content © copyright of Armada
