About this file
This is a product specification document for Southwire Armorlite Type MC Cable with PVC jacket and neutral-per-phase construction, related to a California state and local contract opportunity for jacketed wire (FPCM-MCSP-I001145-M001-KR). The cable is specified in sizes ranging from 12 AWG through 10 AWG in multiple configurations, including 12/2, 12/3, 12/4, 10/2, and 10/3 solid copper conductor options with dedicated white neutral conductors and green grounding conductors. The cable features lightweight aluminum interlocked armor, sunlight-resistant direct burial-rated PVC jacket, and is UL listed for 600 volts with VW-1 rating. Standard reel quantities of 1,000 feet are available with weights ranging from 206 to 370 pounds per reel and overall diameters from 0.639 to 0.768 inches depending on conductor configuration.
The cable meets or exceeds UL 83, UL 1569, UL 1685, Federal Specification A-A59544, and NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) Article 330 standards. It is classified for use in UL 1, 2, and 3-hour through-penetration firestop systems and is REACH/RoHS-2 compliant. The product is suitable for applications including branch, feeder, and service power distribution in commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-residential buildings; installations in wet locations; direct burial applications; hazardous locations (Class I Div. 2, Class II Div. 2, and Class III Div. 1); and cable tray installations. A key cost advantage is that this construction reduces installation costs up to 50 percent compared to traditional pipe and wire methods, and anti-short bushings are not required per NEC and UL standards. Additional cable constructions are available upon request to meet specific project requirements.
