Southwire Armorlite MC Cable 12/3, 100 ft – Aluminum Armor, 600V Rated, THHN/THWN Insulated

Southwire Armorlite MC Cable, 12-gauge, 100 ft, blends solid copper conductors with a protective aluminum interlocked armor to deliver dependable power distribution in demanding spaces. The wires use THHN/THWN insulation, with a green insulated grounding conductor for safety and clear compliance signals. Rated for 600 volts and built to handle 90°C dry environments, this cable is ready for a mix of commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-residential installations.

Premium copper conductors: These soft-drawn wires provide robust electrical conductivity while maintaining flexibility for pulling through trays and raceways. The THHN/THWN insulation helps resist heat and upholds insulation integrity across a broad temperature range, while the included green grounding conductor supports safe circuit grounding and system bonding.

• Premium Copper Conductors: Soft-drawn copper THHN/THWN insulated conductors rated for 90°C dry environments, 12 gauge, with a green insulated grounding conductor for safety and compliance.
• Durable Aluminum Armor: Aluminum interlocking armor offers mechanical protection and flexibility for exposed or concealed installs, including cable trays and approved raceways.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for branch, feeder, and service power distribution across commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-residential buildings; supports power, lighting, control, and signal circuits.
• Code-Compliant Design: Approved for environmental air-handling spaces (NEC 300.22(C)), places of assembly (NEC 518.4), theaters (NEC 520), and under raised floors for IT equipment (NEC 645.5(D)).
• Quality Assurance: Conductors are cabled and bound with a printed legend, and the product is 1-UL listed for trusted performance and safety standards.

• 600V rating and VW-1 flame test compatibility for safer operation in varied spaces.
• UL 83, UL 1569, UL 1685; IEEE 1202; Federal Spec A-A59544 compliance signals robust quality and compatibility with NEC installations.
• 90°C dry insulation supports higher temperature environments while maintaining insulation integrity.

In real-world use, technicians appreciate the cable’s balance of flexibility and protection. Its copper cores and aluminum armor enable smoother installation through trays and raceways, while meeting code requirements for spaces such as IT environments, theaters, and environmental air-handling areas. While results depend on site conditions, this cable presents a dependable option for distributing power, lighting, control signals, and IT infrastructure in modern facilities.
