I have had a custom made caravan made for a workspace and it's being delivered next week. They are installing 32a electric hookup and consumer unit, etc...

I need to get a 32a armoured hookup from my garage. Where sells the correct cable? I cannot find anything suitable: preferably with the sockets each end.

Like this but, armoured...

An electrical wholesaler will have steel sheathed flex but how will you earth the armouring?
I would run a normal flex and give it mechanical protection in something like Kopex.

Im not sure why you want armoured but for stage lighting power distribution they use H07 Tough Rubber Sheathed cable which is really tough stuff. Either make one yourself or buy one pre-made from Amazon with either 4mm or 6mm cable:

You can get the connectors & cable & make your own if you wish but it wouldn't be any cheaper. Has you electrician told you what cable size you need?
