Southwire 699 Ac Mc Cable 1-hole Strap 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 699 is a 1/4 inch rigid 1-hole strap designed for securing AC (armored cable) and MC (metal-clad cable) to structural surfaces. Fabricated from steel, this strap provides a firm, code-compliant anchor point for cable runs in residential and commercial electrical installations. Its compact profile fits standard 1/4 inch cable diameters and mounts with a single fastener, making it a practical choice for high-volume rough-in work where speed and consistency matter. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors rely on this type of fitting to keep cable runs organized and mechanically protected along joists, studs, and masonry surfaces.

This strap is suited for interior electrical rough-in applications where AC or MC cable must be supported at regular intervals per NEC requirements. It is commonly used in residential new construction, light commercial buildouts, and retrofit wiring projects. The single-hole design allows mounting directly to wood framing, metal studs, or concrete with the appropriate fastener for each substrate. It is also listed as a replacement or equivalent for the Madison Electric 531A.

Key Features

• Designed for 1/4 inch AC and MC cable securing applications
• Single-hole mounting for fast, one-fastener installation
• Steel construction for mechanical durability in rough-in environments
• Compact dimensions suit tight framing bays and conduit-crowded panels
• Compatible equivalent to Madison Electric 531A

Compatibility

Listed as a direct equivalent for the Madison Electric 531A. Designed as an OEM-style replacement strap for 1/4 inch AC and MC cable support applications in standard residential and light commercial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 330 and Article 320 requirements for MC and AC cable support intervals. De-energize all circuits in the work area before running or securing cable. Select the appropriate fastener for the mounting substrate — wood screws for framing, masonry anchors for concrete or block. Avoid over-tightening the mounting fastener, which can deform the strap and compromise cable support.
