Southwire 55275022 Ac Armored Cable 12/3 50 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55275022 is a 50-foot roll of 12/3 AC-90 steel armored cable designed for branch circuit and feeder wiring in residential and commercial electrical installations. The cable features THHN copper conductors rated to 90 degrees F, a 16 AWG internal bonding wire, and a steel outer armor that together form a continuous grounding path. Anti-short bushings are included. The flexible armor eliminates the need for couplings or elbows, making routing through framing and conduit bodies faster. Licensed electricians are the typical installers for this product. Approved for both exposed and concealed work in dry locations and carries a UL listing.

This armored cable is suited for branch circuit rough-in and feeder runs in light commercial and residential buildings. The color-coded conductors with black striping allow for fast identification during installation. Its flexible construction makes it practical in tight framing bays, above drop ceilings, and along exposed structural members where rigid conduit would require additional fittings. Permitted use is limited to dry locations only.

Key Features

• 12/3 configuration with THHN copper conductors rated to 90 degrees F
• Steel armor and 16 AWG bonding wire form the grounding path
• Flexible armor construction — no couplings or elbows required for routing
• Anti-short bushings included with each roll
• Approved for exposed and concealed work in dry locations

Compatibility

Designed for use in branch circuit and feeder applications in standard residential and light commercial electrical systems where AC armored cable is permitted by the local authority having jurisdiction under NEC guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify with a meter before making any connections. Use a cable cutter or armored cable cutting tool to avoid nicking the conductors when trimming the armor. Anti-short bushings must be seated at each termination point before securing connectors.
