Product Information

Specification

12-3C Solid 8 AWG Neutral Oversize Super Neutral Steel / Aluminum Interlocked Armored Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 12-3C Solid 8 AWG Neutral Oversize Super Neutral Steel / Aluminum Interlocked Armored Cable: 100 Amps

Galvanized Interlocking Steel or (optional) Aluminum Armor.

Applications:

Branch circuit and feeder wiring for computers, programmable controllers, electronic discharge lighting, office machines, and other electronic equipment that introduce additive harmonic currents from non-linear switching loads, compatible with most modular office furniture, under raised floors, above suspended ceilings, environmental air-handling spaces, and applications requiring superior EMI shielding (steel armor only).

Also Known as:

AFC Cable, MC Cable, Galvanized Interlocking, Aluminum Armor, Super Neutral Steel, Interlocking Steel Strip, Interlocking Armor, Interlocking Steel, Armored Cable, Oversize Neutral
