Quickly Install Quality Cable with Encore Wire

8/1/2025

Wire and conduit installations for industrial, commercial or multi-residential buildings can quickly become a costly process with labor costs and the risk of waste. Encore Wire products are designed to lower installation costs and difficulty, saving you up to 50% over standard conduit and wire installations. Encore Wire’s metal-clad (MC) cable is constructed with compact stranded type THHN/THWN-2 conductors and an aluminum alloy jacket. Galvanized steel armor is also available, but the aluminum offers a lighter weight option (up to 45% lighter). This product is permitted for 600-volt, dry applications, though a PVC jacket can be used for wet or damp locations. The cable can be ordered in a variety of ways for greater value (depending on your application) and is reverse wound on the reels for an easier pull and shorter installations.
