Woods Armorlite MC Cable 14/2, Aluminum Armor, 100 ft

Woods Armorlite MC Cable — dependable power distribution with lightweight protection

Discover Woods Armorlite MC Cable, a 14-gauge, 2-conductor design that pairs copper power conductors with durable aluminum armor. Supplied in a convenient 100-foot length, it is crafted for easier handling, reduced installation effort, and flexible routing in a variety of commercial and industrial settings. The twist-on advantage lies in a lightweight yet sturdy build that protects conductors while staying easy to pull through trays, conduits, or space-constrained routes.

The conductors are individually insulated with THHN/THWN materials and are jacketed in black and white for clear circuit identification. A green insulated ground conductor is included, helping maintain proper grounding. The entire assembly is rated for 600 volts and designed for dry environments up to 90°C, making it suitable for a wide range of indoor installations without sacrificing performance or safety. The product is VW-1 flame rated and UL-listed for multiple pass-through firestop scenarios, adding a layer of confidence for controlled spaces and protected pathways.

Key advantages that matter on the job

• Reduces installation costs up to 50 percent versus traditional pipe-and-wire methods, improving project efficiency.
• Lightweight aluminum armor can be up to 45 percent lighter than steel MC cable, easing handling and routing.
• UL Classified 1-, 2-, and 3-hour Through Penetration Firestop Systems support compliant fire-rated installations.
• Cable is reverse-wound on reels for easier pulling; when pulling from coils, pull from the inside for smoother advancement.
• Anti-short bushings are not required for use with MC cable per NEC and UL guidelines, simplifying terminations.

Practical applications and installation scenarios

• Branch, feeder, and service power distribution in commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-residential buildings.
• Power, lighting, control, and signal circuits.
• Fished or embedded in plaster, concealed or exposed installations, and environmental air-handling spaces per NEC 300.22 C.
• Suitable for cable tray and approved raceways, under raised floors for IT equipment, and in Places of Assembly (NEC 518.4) and theaters (NEC 520.5).
• Class I, Div. 2; Class II, Div. 2; and Class III, Div. 1 hazardous locations where permitted.
