Also known as metal clad (MC) cable, this cable has metal armor that acts as conduit to protect the building wires. It's often used along the exterior of walls to carry power to outlet boxes. It 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 is rated for your environment.

Cable with THHN wire stands up to condensation and moisture in basements and other damp environments.

Cable with XHHW-2 wire has a PVC outer jacket over the aluminum armor. You can use it in wet environments where liquid might drip and splash on it. It can also be used for direct burial without a conduit.

NM-B

UF-B

Use For:
NM-B, THHN: Buildings
UF-B, THHN: Buildings, Outdoors
Bend and Stay
Temperature Range: 10° to 190° F
Insulation: PVC Plastic

Rated for in-wall installation, this cable carries power to wall outlets. Also known as branch circuit wire, it can be used without conduit. It has solid THHN building wires, so the cable will stay in the shape you bend it. The uninsulated ground wire is not counted in the number of wires.

NM-B cable is for dry locations where moisture is not a concern, and often run through walls, ceilings, and concrete blocks.

UF-B cable is for wet locations where cable may be exposed to moisture or humidity. It's often used as underground feeder cable for pumps and lighting. The insulation resists moisture and UV light.

Armored Building Cable with Uninsulated Ground Wire

Use For: Buildings
Flexible
Temperature Range: 15° to 190° F
Insulation:
Outer: Aluminum Armor
Inner: PVC Plastic

Also known as AC cable, this cable has an uninsulated aluminum ground wire that's in constant contact with the aluminum armor, so it can be used for bonding and grounding. The uninsulated ground wire is not counted in the number of wires. The armor acts as conduit to protect the THHN building wires. It's often used along the exterior of walls to carry power to outlet boxes.
