14 AWG Metal Clad Cable for Permanent Wiring

This 14 AWG metal-clad building cable carries three solid conductors plus a ground inside a galvanized steel jacket rated for 600 V. It arrives as a 6 ft whip with 6 in wire leads and 1/2 in lock-nut fittings, ready for indoor branch-circuit or feeder runs where physical protection is required.

Galvanized Steel Armor Handles Continuous

The interlocked steel jacket resists crushing, abrasion and impact far better than non-metallic sheathing, so the assembly maintains its integrity when pulled through studs, across joists or surface-mounted on walls. Solid 14 AWG conductors keep voltage drop predictable on lighting and receptacle circuits that run for hours at a time.

Verify Circuit Amperage and Local Code Acceptance

Confirm the 14 AWG conductors match the over-current device rating for the intended branch circuit and that metal-clad cable is permitted for the occupancy type in your jurisdiction. Ensure the 1/2 in lock-nut fittings are compatible with the boxes or enclosures you plan to use.

Questions about this item

Does this 14 AWG MC cable generate heat or noise when powering lights all day?

The cable itself produces no noise; heat rise depends on the load you place on the 600 V conductors, not on the cable alone.

What fittings or tools must I already have to install this 6 ft MC whip?

It includes 1/2 in lock nuts and 6 in wire leads, so you need a compatible junction box, cable connectors and standard hand tools to terminate the solid conductors.

Will the galvanised-steel jacket of this MC whip damage older NM cable if they share a stud cavity?

The steel jacket is smooth and code-compliant for contact with non-metallic sheathing when both are properly secured and protected.
