Abstract
A Metal-Clad cable that includes at least two conductor assemblies within a metal armored sheath. Each conductor assembly has an electrical conductor, an insulation layer extending around and along the length of each of the electrical conductors, a jacket layer disposed around the insulating layer and a polymeric protective layer disposed around the jacket layer along the length of each of the electrical conductors. A grounding/bonding strip is disposed within the cable and is in intimate contact with an interior surface of the metal sheath. If a grounding conductor is used, it is either in cabled relationship with the two conductor assemblies or is disposed along the length of the electrical conductors and the metal sheath is disposed over the at least two conductor assemblies and the grounding conductor.
