Southwire 68579201 Mc Armored Cable 14/2 250 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 68579201 is a 250-foot coil of 14/2 metal-clad (MC) armored cable designed for electrical power distribution in commercial, industrial, institutional, and multiresidential buildings. The cable features an aluminum armor jacket with a dedicated green insulated ground wire inside. At 18.7 pounds per coil, it is sized for branch and feeder circuit runs where code-compliant armored cable is required. Licensed electricians use this product for general-purpose wiring in new construction and retrofit installations where conduit is not specified.

This MC cable is suited for branch circuits, feeder circuits, power wiring, lighting control, signal circuits, and service power distribution. It is also listed for use as aerial cable on a messenger, in cable trays, and in approved raceways. The 14 AWG conductor size makes it appropriate for 15-amp branch circuits in commercial and multiresidential applications where MC cable is the specified wiring method.
