Applications

Ensure safe, reliable, and NEC-compliant electrical installations with our premium Stranded Copper Type MC Cable.  Our made in the U.S.A., versatile metal clad cable is engineered for demanding commercial, industrial, and multi-residential construction projects, providing superior performance for power distribution, branch circuits, and lighting systems.

Our MC cable features highly flexible stranded copper conductors, available in sizes from 14 AWG to 2 AWG, ensuring easier pulls through approved  raceways, saving you time and labor on the job site. Each conductor is individually insulated with robust THHN/THWN-2 material, rated for 600V and 90°C in dry locations, offering excellent thermal stability and protection. This construction includes two, three, or four-circuit conductors, plus a dedicated green insulated ground wire for enhanced safety and straightforward identification.

The entire assembly is encased in a durable, interlocked aluminum armor jacket, providing exceptional physical protection against impact and crushing, making it an ideal armored cable solution for exposed and concealed work. This aluminum MC cable is suitable for dry location installation in exposed or concealed work, cable trays, and approved raceways, where permitted by local codes and conditions.

Engineered for professionals, this building wire meets stringent industry standards, including UL 1569 (E38918), UL 83 (E15119), ASTM B3, B8, & B787 where applicable, FT4/IEEE 1202, and Federal Specification A-A59544. It fully complies with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) Article 330 for Type MC cable.

For seamless installation and inventory management, our MC cable features an easy-to-read surface print legend with sequential footage markers every two feet, an armor color coding system with chevrons showing the conductor colors inside and the easiest direction to pull. The cable size, including wire gauge and number of conductors, is also clearly printed. This patent-pending system simplifies on-site management and ensures you have the right electrical wire for your specific application, the first time. 

Choose this high-quality, commercial grade MC cable for your next electrical project to guarantee a professional, durable, and code-compliant wiring solution. Order your specific AWG and conductor count today for reliable branch circuit wiring and power distribution needs.

Additional Features

Metal-Clad Cable with two-, three- or four-circuit THHN/THWN conductors and a green insulated ground. Intended for use in accordance with the National Electrical Code®. Conductor constructions have the insulated conductors cabled together with a separator tape that displays the identification print legend wrapped around the assembly. An interlocked aluminum armor is applied over the entire construction.
