Type MC cable is constructed with solid soft-drawn copper Type THHN circuit conductors rated 90
o
C dry
and a full-sized bare aluminum grounding/bonding condcutor. This cable is available in sizes 14-10 AWG. The insulated
conductors are cabled together and wrapped with a binder tape bearing the print legend. The bare aluminum
grouding/bonding conductor is located outside the binding tape and has the same lay as the insulated conductors. Aluminum
interlocking armor is snugly applied over the assembly. The aluminum armor and bare aluminum conductor are in intimate
contact and together form the equipment ground assembly. To insure proper installation, refer to the installation instructions
provided with every reel and coil.
