Also known as metal clad (MC) cable, the metal armor acts as a conduit to protect the wires inside. The PVC inner insulation resists flames. Its nylon jacket is low smoke, so it can be used without conduit in duct work, under raised floors, and above a drop ceiling. This cable has a ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.
Hazardous location environmental ratings indicate whether manufacturers have included safety features in products to facilitate their safe use in a hazardous environment. Before selecting a product for a hazardous location, ensure it’s rated for your environment.
Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Equipment-Cooling Fan Power Cords
Plug these cords into fans that have quick-disconnect terminals. The industry designation is SPT, so they have a flat cord shape.
Cords with a 90° elbow socket fit flush against the fan, so they fit in tight spaces.
Cords with a 45° elbow socket fit close against the fan.
Those with a temperature switch turn a fan on when the temperature reaches 88° F and off when it falls to 80° F. They are not adjustable.
