Southwire 55274952 Ac Armored Cable 12/2 50 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55274952 is a 50-foot roll of 12/2 AC-90 steel armored cable designed for branch circuit and feeder wiring in residential and light commercial electrical installations. The cable features copper THHN conductors rated to 90 degrees F, a steel armor jacket, and an included 16AWG internal bonding wire that works together with the outer armor to form the grounding path. Anti-short bushings are included with each roll. The flexible construction eliminates the need for couplings or elbows in many routing situations, reducing installation time on exposed and concealed runs alike. Licensed electricians are the primary installers of this product.

This armored cable is approved for branch circuits and feeders in both exposed and concealed work in dry locations. It is suited for residential wiring projects, light commercial builds, and retrofit work where a flexible armored wiring method is required. The black-striped color coding on the conductors aids in identification during termination. This cable is sold as a single 50-foot roll, making it practical for panel-to-device runs, subpanel feeds, and other fixed wiring applications where dry-location armored cable is specified.

Key Features

• Steel armor jacket provides mechanical protection for copper conductors
• THHN copper conductors rated to 90 degrees F
• 16AWG internal bonding wire and outer armor serve as the grounding path
• Anti-short bushings included with each roll
• Flexible design routes without couplings or elbows in most applications
• UL listed for branch circuits and feeders in exposed and concealed dry locations

Compatibility

Designed for use in dry-location branch circuit and feeder wiring applications where an AC armored cable wiring method is permitted by the applicable electrical code.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any connections. This cable is rated for dry locations only and must not be used in wet or damp environments. Ensure anti-short bushings are installed at all cut ends before termination to protect conductor insulation from the armor edge.
