Returns Simplified.“An excellent industrial and commercial choice for high-amperage feeder systems, branch circuits, and secondary sub-panel installations. Engineered with a lightweight, interlocking aluminum armor jacket, this pre-protected 3-conductor plus ground assembly eliminates the extensive material and labor expenses of traditional conduit piping. It allows electrical crews to route heavy service lines directly through walls, ceilings, and open cable trays in a fraction of the time.”
In modern commercial and residential construction, minimizing field labor hours directly dictates project profitability. The 2/3 Aluminum Metal Clad (MC) Cable delivers a completely code-compliant, pre-armored wiring system that can be uncoiled and installed in up to half the layout time of standard conduit pipe runs. Built with premium AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, it features three color-coded XHHW-2 insulated phase conductors and a dedicated bare grounding wire wrapped snugly in a rugged interlocking aluminum armor.
Labor-Saving Armor: The integrated aluminum interlocked armor serves as its own flexible metallic protective raceway, removing the tedious labor of bending and installing separate EMT or rigid conduit systems.
Premium AA-8000 Conductor: Manufactured with compact-stranded 8000-series aluminum alloy to ensure high electrical conductivity, dramatically reduced weight strain during long structural pulls, and excellent flexibility.
XHHW-2 Insulation: Individual phase conductors are insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), providing elite resistance to heat, moisture, and electrical stress in both wet and dry environments.
Maximum Versatility: Code-approved for an exceptionally broad range of heavy-duty installations including commercial distribution panels, large HVAC compressor units, equipment feeders, and environmental air-handling spaces (plenums).
Conductor Configuration: 3 Insulated Conductors + 1 Bare Ground Wire
Conductor Size: 2 AWG
Conductor Material: AA-8000 Series Compact Stranded Aluminum Alloy (per ASTM B800 & B801)
Conductor Colors: Black, White & Red
Ground Wire Size: 6 AWG (Bare Conductor)
Insulation: High-Heat & Moisture Resistant Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE / Type XHHW-2). A binder tape is wrapped over the insulated conductors’ assembly.
Armor: Overall aluminum interlocked armor.
Voltage Rating: 600 Volts.
Temperature Rating: -40C to 90C.
Amp Rating (@ 75C): 90 Amps.
Amp Rating (@ 90C): 100 Amps.
Outside Diameter (OD): 1.13 inches
Insulation Thickness: 0.045 inches
Net Weight: 438 lbs/mft (pounds per 1,000 feet)
Minimum Bending Radius: 7.91 inches (Calculated as 7x the OD)
Compliance Standards: UL 44, 1569 for Type MC Cable for CT Use, NEMA WC-70/ICEA S-95-658, IEEE 1202 70,000 BTU/HR Vertical Tray Flame Test, ASTM B800 & B801, NEC 518.4, NEC 520.5, NEC 645.5, and NEC 300.22 for environmental air-handling spaces (plenums).
Technical Note: All values are nominal and subject to industry tolerances and manufacturer corrections. Specifications are subject to change without notice. It is the buyers responsibility to verify that all materials meet the specific requirements of the project and comply with local electrical codes. Reference NEC Article 330 for specific Metal-Clad installation guidelines.
Ampacity Note: Values calculated based on the National Electrical Code (NEC) Section 310.16 table. Because most standard commercial electrical panels, breakers, and terminal lugs feature 75C termination points, circuits are typically designed based on the conservative 75-Amp standard. The 90-Amp rating at 90C is highly utilized for ampacity adjustment and correction factors.
