A co-worker and I have a disagreement about what certain cables are made. As far as I know, BX was a name brand and not an actual cable. AC stood for "Armored Cable" and was made of a steel jacket with no ground conductor since the shielding acted as ground; MC stood for "Metal Clad" and was made of aluminum and has a ground conductor inside.
My co-worker says AC stands for "aluminum-clad" and that both MC and AC are aluminum; and also that BX is a TYPE of cable, NOT just a name brand.
Please help us clear this up.
Thanks.
