Southwire 55274921 12/2 Ac 90 Armored Cable 25 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55274921 is a 25-foot roll of 12/2 AC-90 steel armored cable designed for branch circuit and feeder wiring in residential and light commercial applications. The cable features copper conductors rated THHN at 90 degrees C, housed inside a flexible steel armor that eliminates the need for rigid couplings or elbows during installation. The 16AWG internal bonding wire and the outer steel armor together form the grounding path. Anti-short bushings are included with each roll. The outer jacket uses a black striped color-coded design for easy circuit identification in the field.

This armored cable is suited for both exposed and concealed wiring installations in dry locations. Licensed electricians use it for branch circuits and feeders in residential construction, commercial tenant improvements, and light industrial fit-outs where a flexible, self-protecting wiring assembly is required without the bulk of rigid conduit. The 12/2 configuration supports standard 20-amp branch circuits.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out power to the circuit before making any connections. Anti-short bushings must be installed at each termination point where the armor is cut to protect conductor insulation. This cable is rated for dry locations only and must not be installed in wet or damp environments.
