Atkore mcs12/4sol250c Mc-s 12/4 Solid Copper Steel Armor Cable

Product Description

The Atkore mcs12/4sol250c is a Type MC-S metal-clad cable featuring 12 AWG solid copper conductors with steel interlocked armor. This 250-foot coil supplies four current-carrying conductors plus a green ground conductor, with individual conductors color-coded black, white, red, blue, and green. The steel armor provides mechanical protection in commercial and industrial wiring applications. Licensed electricians install this cable in branch circuit wiring where NEC Article 330 requirements for metal-clad cable apply. Solid copper construction ensures reliable conductivity and long service life in dry, damp, or wet locations as permitted by applicable installation codes.

This cable is suited for commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential branch circuit wiring. Typical applications include feeder and branch circuit runs in electrical panels, junction boxes, and conduit-free installations where armored cable is specified. The 250-foot coil format is practical for larger pulls on commercial job sites. Steel armor construction is appropriate where the installation environment requires added protection against physical damage compared to standard NM or AC cable types.

Key Features

• 12 AWG solid copper conductors for branch circuit wiring
• Four current-carrying conductors plus green equipment ground — five wires total
• Steel interlocked armor for mechanical protection per NEC Article 330
• Conductor color coding: black, white, red, blue, and green
• 250-foot coil — suitable for commercial-scale branch circuit pulls
• Solid copper construction for reliable long-term conductivity

Compatibility

Designed for use in Type MC-S metal-clad cable applications requiring 12 AWG solid copper conductors with steel armor, in accordance with NEC Article 330 for metal-clad cable installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 330 and all applicable local electrical codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit panel before making any terminations. Use listed MC cable connectors and fittings rated for steel-armor MC cable — do not use fittings intended for AC or flexible metal conduit. Verify the installation location is approved for the cable type and that bending radius requirements are observed during routing.
