Applications
This premium Healthcare Lighting Metal Clad Cable, with 12 AWG THHN/THWN-2 insulated copper conductors, is engineered for reliable power distribution to smart lighting fixtures in hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities. It reduces installation labor and material costs by combining power and a 0-10V low voltage dimming control cable for LED lighting in a single aluminum armor product. Cerrowire PCS HCF MC cable provides a secure and durable wiring solution for new construction, renovations, and system upgrades.
A key safety feature of this healthcare electrical wire is its dual grounding system. It includes a green insulated copper ground wire plus a bare aluminum grounding and bonding conductor. The grounding conductor maintains constant contact with the interlocked aluminum armor, creating a redundant grounding path for superior safety and peace of mind in patient care areas. This design helps minimize electrical interference, crucial for the accurate operation of diagnostic and life support equipment.
For fast, smooth installation, sequential footage marks are printed on the armor every two feet, along with colored chevrons showing the conductor colors inside and pointing in the easiest direction to pull. Green marks designate it as Healthcare Lighting MC cable. Choose this reliable, code-compliant, and safe hospital grade MC cable for your next healthcare project to ensure dependable power for smart LED lighting where it matters most.
Engineered for 600V applications and rated for 90°C dry conditions, this metal clad electrical cable is suitable for a variety of demanding healthcare settings.
This Healthcare Lighting MC cable is manufactured in accordance with UL 1569: E38918, UL 83, 1581, 2556: E15119, ASTM B3, B8, B787, ASTM B800, FT4/IEEE 1202, NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) 330, and Federal Specification A-A59544 standards.
Additional Features
- Metal-Clad Cable with two-, or three-circuit THHN/THWN-2 conductors and a green insulated ground in addition to a bare aluminum grounding/bonding conductor that is cabled on the outside of the separator tape, allowing it to be in constant contact with the armor and to serve as a redundant grounding path.
