AFC CABLE

AFC CABLE healthcare metal-clad cable, such as the MC-HCF type, is configured for branch circuits in medical facilities and uses a green insulated grounding conductor with 12 AWG copper conductors rated 600 V. Standard low-profile metal-clad cable from AFC CABLE uses the same 600 V rating and 12 AWG or 14 AWG copper conductors but is intended for general branch-circuit wiring in commercial and industrial buildings. The healthcare type is specified where grounding continuity and power distribution in patient-care areas are the governing requirement, while the low-profile type is selected for its reduced overall diameter in exposed or concealed commercial and industrial installation.

AFC CABLE metal-clad building cable is supplied with either aluminum armor or galvanized steel armor. The low-profile constructions in the 3G Electric catalog include aluminum-armored part numbers such as A059-42-G00, A005-42-G00, and A002-42-G00, and galvanized steel-armored part numbers such as S004B42T00, S004B60T01, and S005B42T00. Armor selection affects weight, corrosion behavior, and the mechanical protection provided to the copper conductors. Both armor types are used for branch-circuit wiring in commercial and industrial buildings, and both are available in 250 ft and 1,000 ft reel lengths depending on the specific part number.

AFC CABLE 12 AWG metal-clad cable is available in 2-conductor and 3-conductor configurations, with either stranded or solid copper conductors depending on the part number. Examples include the 2-conductor stranded healthcare cable MPN 5858-42-G00, the 2-conductor solid healthcare cable MPN 5804-42-G00, the 3-conductor aluminum-armored low-profile cable MPN A059-42-G00, and the 3-conductor galvanized steel-armored low-profile cable MPN S005B42T00. A green insulated grounding conductor is included in the configurations listed. The conductor count and stranding determine the circuit capacity and the termination method used at the panel and at the load.

The AFC CABLE metal-clad building cables supplied by 3G Electric carry a 600 V rating. Reel lengths in the catalog are 250 ft and 1,000 ft. For example, the 12 AWG 2-conductor galvanized steel-armored low-profile cable MPN S004B42T00 is supplied in 250 ft, while the equivalent 2-conductor construction MPN S004B60T01 is supplied in 1,000 ft. The 14 AWG 3-conductor aluminum-armored low-profile cable MPN A002-42-G00 is supplied in 250 ft. Buyers should confirm the reel length in the part number when ordering, since the same conductor and armor construction may be offered in more than one length.

AFC CABLE metal-clad cable is used for branch-circuit wiring in commercial and industrial buildings, including exposed and concealed installation where the metallic armor provides mechanical protection to the conductors. The low-profile constructions are selected where a reduced cable diameter is needed for routing through framing, cable trays, or tight spaces. The healthcare metal-clad type is used for branch circuits in medical facilities. Fire-alarm and industrial power cable types from AFC CABLE serve life-safety and process circuits. In all cases, the installation method and the applicable wiring requirements determine whether a metal-clad construction is appropriate for the circuit.

3G Electric supplies AFC CABLE metal-clad cable and related products to buyers worldwide. Orders are matched to the manufacturer part number, conductor count, armor material, voltage rating, and reel length specified by the project. Because the AFC CABLE catalog includes multiple constructions within the same AWG size, 3G Electric confirms the exact part number before fulfillment to avoid substituting a different armor type or conductor configuration. AFC CABLE products are handled alongside other industrial equipment categories that 3G Electric distributes, including burners, pumps, and gas controls, so procurement teams can consolidate cable and equipment requirements through a single supplier.
