55274921 Armored Cable, 12/2, 25 Ft.

Southwire's armored cable (Model 55274921) is a heavy-duty electrical solution designed for residential, commercial, industrial and institutional wiring applications. The 12/2 configuration features two 12 AWG soft-drawn copper conductors with THHN/THWN insulation, each individually wrapped with moisture-resistant, flame-retardant paper. This cable is built to handle branch, feeder, service power distribution, lighting, control and signal circuits in both concealed and exposed installations.

The interlocking steel armor jacket protects conductors during installation and in service, whether run through walls, cable trays, approved raceways, or embedded in plaster. An aluminum bond wire runs the full length inside the armor, in intimate contact with it for reliable grounding continuity. Rated for continuous use up to 90°C, this cable performs well in warm environments and meets UL standards 4 and 83, Federal Specification A-A59544, and the National Electrical Code. It is also listed for use in UL 1, 2 and 3 hour through-penetration firestop systems.
