Aluminum Riser MC™ Cable

Unlike traditional choices of pipe and wire or standard MC cable for vertical installations, Aluminum Riser MC cable offers the contractor the most productive method for commercial vertical installs over 10 stories. Riser MC™ cable eliminates the need for any type of special conductor supports or offsets because of an internal polymeric binder under the armor that holds the conductors in place. It’s a far cry from past methods, which are more labor-intensive and costly.

Traditional Pipe & Wire Installs

Pipe and wire is a time-consuming process involving bending conduit, installing completed conduit run (including boxes for vertical support), and pulling wire through the conduit. Next, the contractor must then support the conductors, using conduit wedges, supports, or offsets.

Traditional MC Cable Installs

Another alternative is MC cable. While standard metal clad cable is a popular choice over that of pipe and wire for vertical cable installations, it still is no match for the ease and efficiency of Riser MC cable.
