Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 68583422 is a 50-foot length of 12/3 MC (Metal Clad) armored cable designed for branch circuits, feeder runs, power distribution, lighting control, and signal circuits. The cable features an aluminum armor jacket with a dedicated green insulated ground conductor inside. It is built for permanent electrical installations in commercial, industrial, institutional, and multiresidential construction. Licensed electricians install this cable where a durable, code-compliant wiring method is required in exposed or concealed applications.

This MC cable is suited for branch, feeder, power, lighting control, and signal circuit applications in commercial and industrial buildings. It is also listed for use as aerial cable on a messenger, in cable trays, and in other approved raceways. The 12/3 conductor configuration makes it a common choice for 20-amp circuit runs requiring a dedicated ground in multiresidential and light commercial projects.

Installation Notes

MC armored cable is installed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC Article 330. Power down the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before making any connections. Use listed MC cable fittings and connectors rated for aluminum-armored cable at each termination point. Cut the armor with a rotary armor cutter rather than a hacksaw to avoid nicking the conductors.
