Southwire/coleman Cable 55278322 14/2 Act Armored Cable 50 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 55278322 is a 50-foot coil of 14/2 ACT armored cable designed for branch circuit wiring in commercial and residential electrical installations. The cable features two 14-gauge copper conductors housed inside a steel armor jacket, with an aluminum bond wire serving as the equipment ground. Rated for operation up to 90 degrees C, this cable meets the demands of standard branch circuit applications where mechanical protection is required. It is typically installed by licensed electricians working in conduit-free armored cable systems.

This armored cable is suited for use in dry, damp, and concealed wiring applications where physical protection of conductors is necessary. The steel jacket provides resistance to mechanical damage during installation and in-service conditions. The 14/2 configuration makes it appropriate for 15-amp branch circuits serving lighting, receptacles, and general-purpose loads in both residential and light commercial construction. It ships in a coil format for manageable handling on the job site.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock armored cable for 15-amp residential and light commercial branch circuit installations requiring a steel-jacketed 14/2 ACT cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify lockout/tagout procedures before making any connections. Use appropriate ACT cable connectors and fittings rated for armored cable at each termination point. Avoid kinking or over-bending the cable during installation, as this can damage the armor jacket and conductors.
