Construction
Southwire Armorlite® Type AC Cable is constructed with soft-drawn copper, Type THHN insulated conductors which are individually wrapped with a moisture-resistant, flame-retardant paper covering. Aluminum interlocking armor is applied over the assembly. A 16 AWG aluminum bond wire is placed inside the armor, runs longitudinally and is in intimate contact with the armor for its entire length.
- An armor assembly (combination of the interlocked armor & bonding strip) that is recognized as an equipment grounding/bonding conductor per NEC 250.118(8).
- Reduces installation costs up to 50% over pipe and wire.
- Lightweight aluminum armor--as much as 45% lighter than steel AC Cable.
- UL Classified 1, 2, and 3 hour Through Penetration Firestop Systems: W-J-3037, W-L-3110, W-L-3113, W-L-3117, W-L-3120, W-L-3121, W-L-3160, C-AJ-3115, C-AJ-3140, C-AJ-3142, C-AJ-3145, C-AJ-3173, C-AJ-3202, C-AJ-4065, C-AJ-4066, F-C-3038.
- Anti-short/insulating bushings supplied with every reel or coil.
- Cable reverse wound on reel for ease of pulling and installation. When pulling from coils, pull from inside to ensure ease of installation.
