Southwire 12/3 aluminum metal-clad (MC) cable is a flexible, code-compliant solution for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical wiring. This 100-foot roll features three 12 AWG copper conductors plus a dedicated green insulated grounding conductor, making it ideal for branch circuits, feeder lines, lighting, power distribution, and control circuits in new construction, remodels, and retrofit projects.
The aluminum interlocking armor provides superior mechanical protection, corrosion resistance, and excellent heat dissipation while maintaining the flexibility needed to navigate tight corners, conduit runs, and complex installations. The soft-drawn copper conductors are rated for 90°C dry environments and are wrapped with binder tape bearing a clear print legend for easy identification. This cable meets NEC standards and is approved for use in environmental air-handling spaces, places of assembly, theaters, and under raised floors for IT equipment, making it suitable for demanding applications across multiple building types.
