AFC Cable Systems new cable offering improves cable pulling experience

By Mary Gannon | October 22, 2020

AFC MC Glide LR cable pullerAFC Cable Systems, part of Atkore, announces a new innovation in cable installation. Historically, pulling cable has been slow, noisy, back-breaking work, but MC Glide is a new cable that glides through metal studs and ceilings offering a smoother, faster, quieter experience.

AFC Cable Systems reexamined legacy MC cables to develop MC Glide’s armor (U.S. Patent Pending). Designed to reduce friction and move easily without sacrificing flexibility and strength, MC Glide’s smooth profile provides less resistance, allowing installers to work faster and more efficiently with less chance of damaging studs, saving time and labor costs compared to legacy MC Cable.

MC Glide is also compatible with the installers’ current tools and fittings.
