SWA armoured cables are used when extra mechanical protection is required. You'll find them used for underground electrical supplies and for power distribution within an industrial electrical installation. The steel wire armour (SWA) is also used for a CPC/ Earth connection.
The armoured cable gland is an essential item to make a reliable electrical connection.
The SWA cable gland in this video is a BW type for interior applications.

    • The bag they have is called a splicing kit and it's for high voltage electrical wire. It's used to connect two lines, just guessing from the size of the wire, perhaps 19,000v-30,000v... This demo is a bit sloppy and would probably fail if ever energized, but I'm sure this was all for a video and not actual work

This video is just covering the installation of the cable gland that attaches to the enclosure, the gland provides a strong mechanical and electrical connection to the steel armoring, both securing the cable to the enclosure and earthing the steel.
