Description
This 6 AWG 4 conductor UL MC armored cable is a power cable that is rugged, flexible, and has a long term cable performance. AIA (Aluminum Interlock Armor) construction has a strip of metallic material spiraled around the cable core making it more flexible than CCW (Continuously Corrugated Welded), but giving it less protection in moist or corrosive environments. It is suitable for a broad range of industrial application environments such as instrumentation, control, communication and power distributions.
