Steel City XC280-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size knockout does the Steel City XC280-1 MC cable connector need in the box?
It drops into a standard 1/2 inch knockout. The connector itself is sized 3/8 inch for the cable side, so you are landing 3/8 inch trade size MC into a 1/2 inch KO with the supplied locknut opening.
2) Can I use the XC280-1 to terminate 14/2 or 12/2 MC cable?
Yes. 14/2 and 12/2 MC armored cable runs in the 3/8 inch trade size that this connector is built for, and the clamp grips the armor on that range. For larger multi-conductor MC you would need to step up to a bigger trade size connector.
3) Is the XC280-1 a clamp type connector or a snap-in style?
Clamp type. The XC280-1 uses a screw clamp to grip the armor, which is the style most inspectors expect on metal clad cable terminations and what you want when you need to positively secure the armor rather than rely on a spring.
4) What is the XC280-1 connector body made of?
Zinc die cast. That gives you a conductive metal body for bonding continuity through the fitting, which is what MC terminations rely on, and it is the common material for indoor dry-location branch circuit work.
5) Is the Steel City XC280-1 sold individually or in a box of 100?
It is sold each, packed one per bag, so you can buy the exact count you need for a service call instead of a full carton.
6) Where is the Steel City XC280-1 made?
Mexico. That is the manufacturing origin on record for the XC280-1, which matters if your project carries country of origin documentation requirements.
