Southwire Armorlite armored cable (MC cable) delivers pre-installed conductors within a protective metallic interlocked armor, making it ideal for branch, feeder, and service power distribution in commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-residential construction. The cable is reverse wound for ease of pulling and installation through conduit and tight spaces.
At 45% lighter than steel MC cable, Armorlite reduces material handling weight while maintaining protection in demanding environments. The flame-retardant, heat-resistant PVC insulation with flame-, oil-, and gasoline-resistant nylon jacket safeguards wiring in concealed or exposed installations, in raceways, fished through walls, embedded in plaster, in cable trays, or as aerial cable on a messenger.
