construction

Type MC Cable is constructed with solid soft-drawn copper Type THHN circuit conductors rated 90º C 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 insure proper installation, refer to the installation instructions provided with every reel and coil.
