Construction
Southwire MCAP ® Type MC Cable is constructed with solid soft-drawn copper Type THHN circuit conductors rated 90ºC dry and a full-sized bare 8000 Series aluminum grounding/bonding conductor. This cable is available in sizes 14-8 AWG. The insulated conductors are cabled together and wrapped with a binder tape bearing the print legend. The bare aluminum grounding/bonding conductor is located outside the binding tape and has the same lay as the insulated conductors. Aluminum interlocking armor is snugly applied over the assembly. The aluminum armor and bare aluminum conductor are in intimate contact and together form the equipment ground path. To ensure proper installation, refer to the installation instructions provided with every reel and coil.
- An armor assembly that is an equipment grounding conductor per NEC 250.118(10)(b).
- Installation instructions included with every reel and coil.
- Simplified product application and installation over other armored products.
- Faster conductor make-up, wiring device installation and trim-out when grounding bonding conductor is terminated per installation instructions.
- Reduces installation costs up to 50% over pipe and wire.
- UL Classified 1, 2, and 3 hour Through Penetration Firestop Systems: W-J-3037, W-L-3110, W-L-3113, W-L-3117, W-L-3120, W-L-3121, W-L-3160, C-AJ-3115, C-AJ-3140, C-AJ-3142, C-AJ-3145, C-AJ-3173, C-AJ-3202, C-AJ-4065, C-AJ-4066, F-C-3038.
- Cable reverse wound on reel for ease of pulling and installation. When pulling from coils, pull from inside to ensure ease of installation.
- Anti-short bushings are not required for use with MC cable per the NEC and UL
