Type MC

Type MC metal-clad cable combines insulated circuit conductors with a metal covering for power and control wiring in commercial and industrial facilities. The assembly provides a protected wiring option for equipment feeds, distribution circuits and plant connections where the selected cable construction is permitted. Conductor insulation, conductor count and grounding arrangement vary across the family, with jacketed versions requiring their own product identification. The cable listing and installation requirements establish environmental use, routing and termination conditions. Matching those details to the electrical design helps select the appropriate metal-clad cable for the circuit.
