Encore Wire 790410838030 Mc Cable 12 Awg 5C Aluminum 250 Ft

Product Description

The ENCORE WIRE 790410838030 is a Type MC armored conductor cable rated for 600 volts AC, designed for use in commercial and residential electrical distribution and branch-circuit wiring. This cable features five 12 AWG solid aluminum conductors with SmartColorID color coding for quick conductor identification during installation. Type MC cable is preferred where mechanical protection is required and is installed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC Article 330. The 250-foot length suits standard commercial rough-in runs and panel feeder applications.

Type MC armored cable is suited for exposed and concealed wiring in dry, damp, or wet locations where the listing permits. A five-conductor configuration supports three-phase circuits with ground, making it a practical choice for commercial branch circuits, light industrial panels, and multi-circuit runs where conduit is not preferred. The solid aluminum conductors reduce material weight and cost on longer runs without sacrificing code compliance for the conductor size.

Key Features

• Type MC interlocked armor provides mechanical protection without the need for conduit
• Rated 600 volts AC for standard branch-circuit and feeder applications
• Five 12 AWG solid aluminum conductors support three-phase with ground configurations
• SmartColorID jacket color coding speeds conductor identification at terminations
• 250-foot continuous length reduces splices on longer commercial runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard installation cable for Type MC wiring applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems where 600-volt AC branch-circuit or feeder cable with mechanical armor is specified.

Installation Notes

Type MC cable is installed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC Article 330. De-energize and lock out the panel before making any terminations. Use listed MC cable connectors and fittings rated for aluminum conductors, and apply appropriate anti-oxidant compound at all aluminum termination points as required by the connector manufacturer and local code. Do not bend the cable beyond the minimum bending radius specified on the cable listing to avoid damaging the armor or conductors.
