Product Overview

The AC90 Armored Cable is a versatile, CSA C22.2 No. 51-compliant solution designed for reliable power distribution in dry commercial, industrial, and residential environments. Featuring interlocked aluminum armor, RW90-rated XLPE insulation, and flexible copper or aluminum conductors, this multi-conductor cable ensures durability, safety, and cost-efficiency for exposed or concealed installations.

Key Features & Benefits

  1. Dual Conductor Options

    • Copper Conductors: High conductivity for efficient power transmission (14 AWG to 2 AWG).

    • Aluminum Conductors: Lightweight, cost-effective 8000 Series ACM alloy (6 AWG to 750 MCM).

    • Includes a bare copper or aluminum grounding wire for enhanced safety.

  2. Robust Construction

    • Insulation: RW90-rated cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) resists thermal stress (up to 90°C).

    • Armor: Interlocked aluminum provides mechanical protection and EMI shielding.

    • Assembly: Paper-wrapped conductors ensure insulation integrity.

  3. Safety & Compliance

    • FT4 Flame-Retardant: Meets strict flame spread and smoke emission standards.

    • RoHS Compliant: Lead-free and environmentally friendly.

  4. Easy Installation

    • Approved for use in cable troughs, ventilated flexible cableways, and ceiling fixtures.

    • Flexible design simplifies routing in tight spaces.

Applications

  • Commercial & Industrial Wiring: Ideal for dry locations in factories, warehouses, and offices.

  • Apartment Complexes: Safe, concealed wiring for residential buildings.

  • Cable Trays & Conduits: Compatible with ventilated cableways and troughs.

  • Ceiling Fixtures: Certified for overhead lighting and electrical systems.

Note: Designed exclusively for dry environments. Not suitable for wet or outdoor use.
