Product Identity

Southwire 68579221 is a 25-foot length of 14/2 Type MC aluminum armored cable with a dedicated green ground wire. It is built for branch, feeder and service power distribution in commercial, industrial, institutional and multi-residential construction. The cable carries a UL listing for code-compliant installations.

Suitable Applications

This cable suits electricians and contractors running power, lighting, control or signal circuits in approved raceways, cable trays or aerial messenger systems. It is not for buyers who need a different conductor count, a longer continuous length, or a non-armored jacket type for their specific project requirements.

Included Extras

The product ships as a single 25-foot length in shrink-wrap packaging with no additional connectors, tools or software supplied. Installers must provide their own MC-rated connectors, bushings and mounting hardware to complete the wiring run.

Questions about this item

What connectors or fittings do I need to terminate this Type MC aluminum armored cable?

Use listed MC cable connectors rated for aluminum armor and 14 AWG conductors; secure the armor to the connector and attach the copper conductors to the device terminals.

Can I pull this 14 AWG MC cable through the same raceway as older THHN conductors?

Yes, provided the raceway fill limits for the combined conductors are not exceeded and all conductors share the same insulation temperature rating.

How can I confirm the cable is correctly installed and energised?

Verify continuity on both copper conductors and the green ground, check for voltage on the hot conductor relative to neutral and ground, and ensure the armor is bonded to the grounding system.
