Hi,
I'm installing MC cable in my house. It's not steel armored cable, but _aluminum_ clad: (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire...9223/202316369)

For the terminal ends of each wiring run, I've read that "Direct bearing set-screw connectors are suitable for only steel armor" and not aluminum armor.

What type of connectors should I be using?
The same, clamp-type, that one uses for NM cable? (i.e. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Halex-3-8...0570/100186543)

Any experienced advice appreciated.
thanks!

Theodore.



MC is not the same as FMC, You will find the sizes are different.

This is a pretty good MC connector
