Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 68583421 is a 25-foot length of 12/3 metal-clad (MC) armored cable designed for branch, feeder, power, lighting control, signal, and service power distribution circuits. The cable features an aluminum armor jacket with a dedicated green ground wire inside. It is built for commercial, industrial, institutional, and multiresidential building applications where a rugged, code-compliant wiring solution is required. Electricians rely on this cable for both exposed and concealed installations where MC cable is permitted under NEC Article 330.

This MC cable is suited for a wide range of fixed wiring applications. It is appropriate for use in commercial and industrial branch circuit runs, service entrance distribution, and lighting control circuits. It is also listed for use as aerial cable on a messenger, in cable trays, and in approved raceways. The 12/3 conductor configuration makes it a common choice for 20-amp circuit runs in multiresidential and light commercial construction.
