Product Information

Specification

12-2C Solid Oversize Super Neutral Steel / Aluminum Interlocked Armored Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 12-2C Solid 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).
