Overview

The ABB XC 408 Straight Squeeze Type Connector (SKU: XC 408) is engineered for secure and reliable connections of 3-inch armored cable and flexible metal conduit. Constructed from durable zinc-plated malleable iron, this connector provides robust performance in industrial electrical installations. Its unique saddle design ensures firm cable retention, exceeding listing agency requirements for holding power and guaranteeing high-quality bonding. The removable bushing design accommodates a wide range of cable sizes, reducing inventory needs. This connector is suitable for use with smooth or corrugated aluminum sheathed and steel MC cable, as well as flexible metal conduit. Key specifications include a 3-inch conduit size and dimensions of 2-7/8 inches in length and 3-13/16 inches in width. The squeeze-type mechanism allows for quick and easy installation with a single screw, simplifying the connection process while maintaining a tight, corrosion-resistant seal.
