Southwire/coleman Cable 55274921 12/2 Act Armored Cable 25 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 55274921 is a 25-foot coil of 12/2 ACT armored cable designed for branch circuit wiring in commercial and residential electrical installations. The cable features a steel armor jacket over two 12-gauge copper conductors and an aluminum bond wire ground. Rated for use at 90 degrees C, it meets the thermal demands of standard branch circuit applications. Electricians use this cable where armored protection is required by code in lieu of conduit runs, including exposed or partially exposed wiring in commercial interiors.

This armored cable is suited for use in dry, damp, and wet locations where physical protection of conductors is required. Typical applications include wiring in light commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and residential construction where local codes require or permit armored cable in place of conduit. The 25-foot coil length is practical for short runs and repair work. Each coil contains two 12-gauge copper current-carrying conductors plus an aluminum bond wire for grounding continuity.

Key Features

• Steel armor jacket provides physical protection against damage and meets code requirements for armored cable installations
• Two 12-gauge copper conductors deliver reliable current capacity for standard 20-amp branch circuits
• Aluminum bond wire ground ensures grounding continuity throughout the run
• 90-degree C temperature rating supports use in higher-ambient-temperature environments
• 25-foot coil format is convenient for short runs and service work
• ACT (Armored Cable with aluminum bond wire and steel jacket) construction per applicable NEC article requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock armored cable for residential and light commercial branch circuit wiring applications requiring 12/2 ACT construction.

Installation Notes

Installation of armored cable must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always de-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before connecting or splicing. Use an approved armored cable cutter to cut the steel jacket cleanly without nicking conductor insulation. Secure and support the cable at intervals required by the NEC and use listed fittings at all termination points.
