Targeting commercial lighting designs in smart buildings, AFC Cable Systems has announced its MC Luminary cable series. The metal-clad cables, suitable for both LED and fluorescent dimming applications, combine electronic lighting and control circuits under a single robust, interlocked armour.

The MC Luminary features two or three single copper THHN conductors, one single THHN insulated ground, and a twisted jacketed pair of TFN conductors. The MC Tuff Luminary Cable is a lightweight galvanised steel interlocked armour cable, and the MC-Lite Luminary Cable is an interlocked aluminium armour cable. Both are offered in 120/208 or 277/480 conductor designs with a TFN conductor low voltage control assembly under one armour.

MC Luminary cables save time and significantly reduce costs in each installation, according to AFC. By coupling the standard power wiring for lighting fixtures with the low voltage control wiring under a single armour, this single cable does the job of two when connecting to LED fixtures, dimmers, switches, occupancy sensors and other controls.

MC Luminary reduces procurement time, shipments, installation time, and waste on projects and, according to the manufacturer, contributes to the desired outcome for LEED certification status of Smart building designs today.
