SOUTHWIRE ARMORLITE TYPE MC METAL CLAD CABLE - 12/2, 250 FT

Southwire Armorlite Type MC metal-clad cable delivers reliable power, lighting, and control wiring with lightweight aluminum interlocking armor that installs faster and weighs less than steel MC or EMT conduit. 12 AWG solid copper THHN/THWN conductors (2-conductor with green insulated ground) are cabled together with a binder tape inside the armor for dependable performance in branch, feeder, and service distribution.

  • 12 AWG solid copper conductors, 2-conductor with insulated ground (Black/White/Green)
  • 2-conductor with ground for standard hot/neutral 120V branch circuits
  • Lightweight aluminum interlocking armor, approximately 45% lighter than steel MC
  • THHN/THWN-2 insulation rated 90 deg C dry, 75 deg C wet at 600V
  • For branch, feeder, and service power distribution in commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-residential buildings
  • For power, lighting, control, and signal circuits
  • Use in exposed or concealed interior/exterior runs
  • UL Listed for 120/208V use; sized for 20-amp circuit (general-purpose receptacles, small-appliance branches, lighting)
  • 250 Ft Length

250 Ft contractor coil suits multi-zone commercial rough-in and industrial branch distribution where bulk handling cuts setup time.

Tip: Cut aluminum armor cleanly with an MC cable cutter or roto-split tool - avoid hacksaws since they leave sharp edges that nick conductor insulation. Slip an anti-short bushing (sold separately) into each cut end before installing the MC connector at the box; the bushing protects conductors from the armor cut edge and is required by UL listing. Per NEC 330.30, support MC cable within 12 inches of each box and at intervals not exceeding 6 ft along the run.
