Description

Southwire EZ-IN™ Mini-Split Shielded Cable | Air Components
Shielded Type MC Mini-Split Cable · Made in USA

Wire the mini-split. Skip the conduit.

Southwire EZ-IN™ Mini-Split Shielded Cable is a UL Listed, 600 V Type MC cable built for ductless installs — run it indoors or out, wet or dry, with no conduit and no cable tray. The foil shield keeps inverter and line noise out of your communication signal.

600 V rated 90°C dry / 75°C wet No conduit required UL Listed Type MC
The case for Type MC

Conduit and cable tray cost you labor. There's a code-compliant shortcut.

The classic way to power a ductless head means pulling individual THHN through conduit, or running whip plus tray. EZ-IN puts shielded conductors inside lightweight interlocked armor, so you route it like a whip — fished, surface-run, concealed or exposed — and stay inside the NEC without the conduit.

Conduit & pull

  • Bend and mount conduit, then pull individual conductors
  • Cable tray or raceway to satisfy the code
  • Extra fittings, extra labor hours per head
  • Unshielded runs can pick up inverter and line noise

EZ-IN™ shielded MC

  • Armored cable installs with no conduit or tray
  • Fished, embedded, concealed or exposed — indoor or out
  • Anti-short bushing not required — faster terminations
  • Foil shield + drain wire guards the comm signal
Why installers reach for it

Purpose-built for ductless mini-split wiring

Everything about this cable is tuned to the mini-split job — from the shield to the armor to the sunlight-resistant jacket.

01

No conduit needed

Type MC armored construction installs to the NEC without conduit or cable tray — fished, surface-mounted, concealed or exposed.

02

Shielded

Aluminum foil shield with a tinned-copper drain wire guards against electrical noise and interference from nearby cables — protecting the mini-split's communication signal.

03

Lightweight armor

Aluminum interlocked armor gives real mechanical protection while staying light and easy to handle and route — far less weight than steel.

04

Indoor or outdoor

Sunlight-resistant PVC jacket, rated for wet locations per NEC 330.10(11) and for direct burial — run it right to the outdoor condenser.

05

EZ-IN™ ease

No anti-short bushing required, so terminations go faster. Pair it with Southwire's mini-split fittings and tools for a clean, quick rough-in.

06

Made in USA

UL Listed and NEC-compliant, with a Buy American option — specify "Made in the USA Only" to keep your project spec-compliant.
