Southwire 68580055 250 ft 12/2 Solid Copper MC-Lite Cable — Aluminum Armor

Overview

Southwire 68580055 delivers a rugged 12/2 solid copper MC-Lite cable with aluminum armor, designed for durable feeder runs. The 250 ft reel minimizes joins on longer installations, while MC-Lite construction offers a balanced blend of protection and flexibility in a compact profile.

Why MC-Lite matters

MC-Lite cables combine convenient handling with reliable protection. The interlocked aluminum armor guards copper conductors from impact and abrasion, while the solid copper conductors provide stable conductivity across runs. The 12/2 configuration supports common two-conductor circuits with a ground, simplifying wiring in many residential and light-commercial applications. An aluminum sheath contributes to a lighter, more flexible cable, aiding pulls and installations without sacrificing durability.
