MC-Quik cables were developed in 2012 and introduced a metal clad cable (MC Cable) without an overall polypropylene wrap. This new construction of cable is referred to as MCI-A cables because of the style of fittings used during installation.

AFC has combined a feature of Armored Cables (AC Cable) with the armor in conjunction with an aluminum bond wire that can be used as a grounding means. In addition, AFC Cable added a labor saving feature of extruding the polypropylene wrap over each individual conductor. Removing the overall tape eliminates the time to remove it to access the conductors and eliminates the waste of the scrap. Without the overall tape, contractors do not need to spend time unraveling the tape to expose the conductors and then trim off the excess. When installation is complete, there is less waste to be cleaned up on the job site.

AFC Cable offers MC-Quik in both steel and aluminum versions with various configurations and conductor color options.

AFC Cable also offers a healthcare (HCF) version of MC-Quik called MC-Stat. MC-Stat utilizes a redundant green ground to comply with healthcare requirements.
