Streamlining Electrical Installations: Exploring Atkore's MC Glide™

In the evolving landscape of construction and electrical installations, innovation is key to efficiency and safety. Atkore, a leader in electrical, safety, and infrastructure solutions, has once again raised the bar with its innovative product: MC Glide™. This innovative wiring solution helps to revolutionize electrical installations, offering ease, efficiency, and safety. 

The Challenge: Simplifying Electrical Installations 

Traditional methods of electrical wiring installations often involve time-consuming processes that cause fatigue and can be prone to errors. Cable pulling, especially in tight spaces or complex configurations, can be cumbersome and labor-intensive. Moreover, the risk of damage to cables and studs during installation poses safety concerns and can lead to costly repetition of work. 

 Introducing MC Glide: A Game-Changer in Wiring Solutions 

Atkore's MC Glide is engineered to address these challenges head-on. This advanced metal-clad (MC) cable features a unique, flexible, low-friction polymer coating that significantly reduces the effort required for cable pulling. MC Glide’s aluminum armor offers a wider, smoother, and flatter interlock surface to facilitate smoother movement through metal studs and ceilings, reducing strain on installers and minimizing the risk of cable damage, as well as stud damage.  

Key Features and Benefits 

1. Enhanced Efficiency: MC Glide's smooth surface reduces friction, allowing cables to easily glide through metal studs and ceilings. With improved ergonomics, installers can complete wiring installations in less time, boosting overall project efficiency. 

2. Improved Safety: 

   - With reduced pulling force required, MC Glide helps prevent strain-related injuries among installers. 

   - The risk of cable damage during installation is also minimized, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. 

3. Versatile Applications: MC Glide is suitable for various installation environments, including commercial and industrial. It’s compatible with the same tools, fittings, and supports as traditional MC cables.  

The Future of Electrical Installations 

With its innovative design and compatibility, Atkore's MC Glide offers a smoother, faster, quieter wiring installation that can reshape the construction industry. MC Glide paves the way for smarter, more streamlined processes that can empower installers to meet the demands of modern construction projects with confidence.
