Southwire/coleman Cable 68580021 Mc Cable 12/2 25 Feet

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 68580021 is a 25-foot length of 12/2 THHN metal clad (MC) cable with a green ground conductor and an aluminum armor jacket. MC cable is a factory assembly of insulated conductors enclosed in a flexible metallic armor, designed for use in branch circuit wiring where mechanical protection is required. This cable ships in a package quantity of 5 coils and weighs 14 pounds per package. It is installed by licensed electricians in both new construction and retrofit applications where code requires a grounded, armored wiring method.

This 12/2 MC cable is suited for general-purpose branch circuit wiring in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Common applications include wiring to panels, subpanels, outlets, and fixed equipment where conduit is impractical or where the NEC permits MC cable as an acceptable wiring method. The aluminum interlocked armor provides a continuous equipment grounding path in addition to the dedicated green ground conductor.

Key Features

• 12 AWG 2-conductor THHN insulated wire with a dedicated green ground conductor
• Flexible aluminum interlocked armor for mechanical protection
• 25-foot coil length suitable for short branch circuit runs
• THHN insulation rated for use in dry and damp locations
• Packaged in quantities of 5 coils per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wiring solution for branch circuit applications where MC cable is an accepted wiring method under the National Electrical Code.

Installation Notes

MC cable must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 330 and all applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out power at the panel before making any terminations. Use a proper MC cable cutter to avoid damaging conductor insulation when cutting the aluminum armor. Secure the cable with listed MC cable connectors and fittings at all termination points and at required support intervals.
