Southwire/coleman Cable 68579222 14/2 Mc Cable 50 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 68579222 is a 50-foot length of 14/2 metal clad (MC) cable with a dedicated green ground conductor. It consists of two 14 AWG current-carrying conductors plus a green insulated ground, all enclosed in an aluminum interlocked armor jacket. This construction provides both the circuit wiring and mechanical protection in a single assembly. Electricians use MC cable in commercial, industrial, and residential applications where flexible routing and protection from physical damage are required. The aluminum armor eliminates the need for a separate conduit in many installations covered under NEC Article 330.

This cable is suited for branch circuit wiring in new construction, tenant improvement, and retrofit projects. Its flexibility makes it practical for runs in tight spaces, above ceilings, and inside wall cavities. The 14 AWG conductors support 15-amp branch circuits under standard NEC ampacity tables. The box packaging contains 5 units, providing 250 total feet of cable for larger jobs or inventory stocking.

Key Features

• 50-foot length per unit with aluminum interlocked metal clad armor
• 14 AWG, 2-conductor configuration with dedicated green insulated ground
• Flexible armor allows routing around obstructions without separate conduit
• Aluminum armor jacket is lightweight and corrosion resistant
• Box quantity of 5 units supports larger project needs

Compatibility

Designed as an NEC Article 330-compliant MC cable for use in 15-amp, 120-volt or 120/240-volt branch circuit applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring systems.

Installation Notes

MC cable is installed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC Article 330 and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before making any terminations. Use listed MC cable connectors and fittings rated for aluminum-armored cable when terminating at panels, junction boxes, or devices. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable manufacturers minimum bend radius, as this can damage the armor or conductor insulation.
