Collection: Type MC – Copper Conductors

About the Product

The metal clad cable is an electrical wire designed for use in direct burial applications, power and lighting circuits, and cable tray, among others. It is also allowed for use in both dry and wet locations not exceeding 90°C and 75°C respectively. The cable is armored with an aluminum interlocking strip, which offers great mechanical protection.

Conductors:

This aluminum armored cable has a stranded or solid copper conductor. Copper is the most common material used in electrical wires and cables, which is mostly because it has amazing electrical properties and is cheaper compared to other metals. The stranding enhances its flexibility and enables it to carry more current.
