AFC has been making a lightweight steel jacketed MC cable for quite some time now, and I'm sure others are making it too. AFC's brand name is "MC Tuff." This cable is listed for use with setscrew type connectors, the same as the type for AC cable.
Since this is still type MC cable, anti-short busings are not required, even though it has a steel jacket, correct?
I always install MC without anti-shorts, but I don't use the setscrew connectors for the steel jacketed MC. Instead I use the saddle-grip type, which are nice to have because they are good for AC, MC, and flex.
Now, I'm not intending to set off another debate about using anti-short bushings or not. I just want to clarify this issue.
