Product Features
Applications
Armored Cable with two-, three-, or four-circuit THHN/THWN conductors, and a bare aluminum bond wire in constant contact with the armor, allowing it to serve as a grounding path. Intended for use in accordance with the National Electrical Code®. Conductors are individually wrapped with a moisture resistant, flame-retardant paper, and cabled together with marker tape displaying the required print legend. The bare aluminum bond wire is cabled on the outside of the paper wrapped conductors, and interlocked aluminum armor is applied over the entire construction.
