Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 68579252 is a 50-foot length of 14/2 MC (metal-clad) armored cable designed for branch circuits, feeder runs, power distribution, lighting control, and signal circuits. The cable features an aluminum interlocked armor jacket and includes a dedicated green ground wire, meeting the grounding requirements for protected wiring installations. At 3.9 pounds per 50-foot coil, it is a practical on-site stock item for licensed electricians working in commercial, industrial, institutional, and multiresidential construction.

This MC cable is rated for use in commercial, industrial, institutional, and multiresidential buildings where armored cable protection is required by code. It is also approved for aerial installation on a messenger wire, installation in cable trays, and routing through approved raceways. The 14/2 conductor configuration suits standard 15-amp branch circuit wiring for lighting and general-purpose outlets in new construction and renovation work.

Installation Notes

MC cable installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 330. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage at the panel before terminating conductors. Use listed MC cable connectors and fittings approved for the armor type when entering enclosures, junction boxes, or panels. Maintain minimum bend radius requirements per the NEC to avoid damaging the armor or conductors.
