FIREX MC cables are rugged armored cables suitable for installation in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications where excellent mechanical and physical properties are required.
Applications
FIREX MC is suitable and allowed by the NEC for use in the following applications:
- for power, lighting and control circuits and as a branch circuits and power feeders in industrial, commercial, institutional and residential installations up to 600 V.
- fished or embedded in plaster and concrete.
- direct buried or used as an aerial cable when fixed to a messenger support cable.
- used in concealed or exposed applications.
- installed in cable trays and other raceways.
- in Class I and II, Division 2 as well Class III, Division 1 and 2 hazardous locations.
- under raised floors of information technology rooms.
- where exposed to harsh chemicals and vapors
