MC Cable: A Versatile Metal-Clad Wiring Solution for Modern Electrical Installations

In today’s commercial and industrial electrical systems, safety, flexibility, and code compliance are critical.

Metal-Clad (MC) cable is a widely used wiring method designed to meet the demands of modern building installations while providing reliable mechanical protection.

What Is MC Cable?

MC cable is a factory-assembled cable consisting of insulated conductors enclosed in a metallic sheath, typically interlocked aluminum armor.

It is manufactured in accordance with UL 1569 and permitted by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for a wide range of applications.

Unlike AC cable, MC cable includes a separate equipment grounding conductor, providing enhanced grounding reliability.
