Southwire 55274923 12/2 Ac Armored Cable 100 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55274923 is a 100-foot roll of 12/2 AC-90 steel armored electrical cable designed for branch circuit and feeder wiring in residential and commercial applications. The cable features copper conductors rated THHN 90 degrees C, providing reliable current-carrying capacity in standard wiring systems. A 16AWG internal bonding wire combined with the outer steel armor forms the grounding path, eliminating the need for a separate ground conductor. Anti-short bushings are included to protect conductors at termination points. Its flexible construction allows routing without couplings or elbows, saving labor time on complex runs.

This armored cable is suited for exposed and concealed branch circuit and feeder installations in dry locations. Electricians use it in residential panels, commercial build-outs, and retrofit projects where metal-clad protection is required or preferred. The black-striped color coding aids conductor identification during installation. It is sold as a single 100-foot roll, making it practical for jobs requiring a complete, pre-measured length.

Key Features

• 12/2 copper conductors rated THHN 90 degrees C for heat-resistant performance
• Steel armor provides mechanical protection without rigid conduit
• 16AWG internal bonding wire and outer armor form the grounding path
• Flexible design eliminates the need for couplings or elbows during routing
• Anti-short bushings included for safe conductor termination
• UL listed for branch circuits and feeders in exposed and concealed dry locations

Compatibility

Designed for use in dry-location branch circuit and feeder applications where armored cable wiring methods are permitted by the applicable electrical code.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit at the panel before beginning any work. Use an approved armored cable cutter to avoid damaging conductors when cutting the armor. This cable is rated for dry locations only and must not be used in wet or damp environments.
