Metal-Clad (MC) cable, also known as Armored Cable is a cost-effective alternative to using traditional pipe and wire. High performance MC installations offer tremendous cost and labor savings by eliminating the need to use electrical conduit and saves a ton of labor! Installers using Metal-clad cabling also need limited pulling equipment and fewer reels. Along with time savings, metal-clad installations provide higher mechanical protection and durability.
Other advantages of MC cable include high corrosion resistance, which makes it a great choice for areas exposed to moisture. There are also no specialty cutting or bending tools required for installation, and interlocked armor is flexible and much easier to install where closely spaced bends are needed, which can be pretty difficult using conduit.
