PVC Jacketed MC Cable / PVC Coated MC Cable – Outdoor & Corrosion-Resistant Metal Clad Cable

PVC Jacketed MC Cable, also referred to as PVC Coated MC Cable, is a durable and weather-resistant metal clad cable designed for outdoor, wet, and corrosive environments. It features a traditional MC (Metal Clad) core encased in a tough, waterproof PVC jacket that provides an extra layer of protection against moisture, chemicals, sunlight, and mechanical damage. This type of MC cable is ideal for exposed runs in outdoor locations, underground in conduit, or in harsh industrial environments such as wastewater treatment plants, petrochemical facilities, and coastal installations.

It features a traditional MC (Metal Clad) core encased in a tough, waterproof PVC jacket that provides an extra layer of protection against moisture, chemicals, sunlight, and mechanical damage.

This type of MC cable is ideal for exposed runs in outdoor locations, underground in conduit, or in harsh industrial environments such as wastewater treatment plants, petrochemical facilities, and coastal installations.

Key Features

  • Weatherproof Protection – The PVC outer jacket protects the MC cable core from rain, humidity, and snow.
  • Chemical and Corrosion Resistance – Ideal for areas with exposure to oils, acids, salts, or corrosive vapors.
  • UV Resistant – Suitable for long-term exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Flexible Installation – May be installed in cable trays, exposed locations, wet or dry environments, or embedded in concrete.
  • Reduced Conduit Usage – Offers robust protection without needing additional conduit in many settings.

Common Applications

  • Outdoor branch circuits and feeder lines
  • Pump and motor wiring in wastewater treatment facilities
  • Chemical plant environments
  • Coastal or marine installations
  • Rooftop HVAC unit connections
  • Exposed or embedded runs in parking garages or industrial plants

FAQs

Q: Is PVC Jacketed MC Cable rated for direct burial?
A: Not typically. It must be installed in a raceway or conduit if used underground, unless specifically rated otherwise.

Q: What's the difference between 'PVC Jacketed' and 'PVC Coated' MC Cable?
A: The terms are often used interchangeably, but in some regions, 'PVC Coated' refers to a thicker, more ruggedized jacket. Both serve the purpose of moisture and corrosion protection.

Q: Can I use this cable for rooftop installations?
A: Yes, the UV-resistant jacket makes it suitable for rooftop and other sun-exposed areas.
