Armoured cable is a hard wearing power cable which can be used for multiple applications the cable is is covered by a metal sheath meaning that is is protected from water or extreme temperatures it can be used underground externally or indoors.
It does comply with bs7671 when correctly installed and its own product regulations but is not required to comply with the maintenance free accessory part of bs5733.
The problem i have is the junction outside the house where the 2 5mm meets the armoured cable i can t find any glands or outdoor rated junction boxes to suit an armoured cable and 2 5mm.
This is how it looks at the moment not ideal but stays dry with the lid on and i keep the supply off when not in use.

Swa cable which means steel wire armoured is heavy and difficult to bend which helps to reduce the risk of pinching and damage.
