"Engineered for maximum power capacity and tough underground environments, 350 MCM 3-Conductor Direct Burial Aluminum MC Cable delivers complete feeder protection without the added labor or expense of installing underground conduit.
This heavy-duty cable features three 350 MCM compact-stranded aluminum phase conductors and one #2 AWG aluminum bare ground conductor, protected by an interlocked aluminum armor and covered in a rugged, moisture-proof, UV-resistant PVC outer jacket. Fully approved per NEC Article 330 for direct earth burial, wet locations, and cable tray applications, it is the ultimate cost-effective solution for 250A commercial service distribution, industrial subpanels, and heavy utility power runs."
Direct Burial Approved (No Conduit Required): The extruded PVC outer jacket isolates the interlocked aluminum armor from moisture, soil chemicals, and ground rot, allowing you to lay cable directly into open trenches.
High-Capacity 350 MCM Layout: Features three 350 MCM phase conductors and one #2 AWG bare ground—ideal for commercial main service entrances, large industrial subpanels, and heavy-amp machinery feeds.
Compact Stranded AA-8000 Aluminum: Built with lightweight AA-8000 series aluminum alloy that reduces overall cable diameter, making it easier to pull through tight bends without sacrificing ampacity.
Superior Mechanical Armor: The flexible interlocked aluminum armor shields internal wires from soil shifts, sharp rocks, crushed backfill, and physical impacts during installation.
Sunlight & Flame Resistant: Designed to handle direct exposure to sunlight, wet locations, and indoor/outdoor transitions seamlessly.

Compliance Standards: UL 44, UL 1569 (Type MC), NEMA WC70 / ICEA S-95-658, IEEE 1202, ASTM B800 & B801, NEC 518.4, NEC 520.5, NEC 645.5, and NEC 300.22.
Main Commercial Feeders & Subpanels: Delivering high-capacity power from utility disconnects to 250A–300A commercial distribution boards and industrial subpanels.
Industrial & Utility Facility Power: Routing heavy 3-phase power across manufacturing facilities, chemical plants, wastewater facilities, and industrial job sites.
Underground Distribution: Running direct-buried main feeders between separate commercial buildings, agricultural complexes, and heavy machinery workshops.
Cut to Length: Sold by the foot or in master reels to match your exact trench footprint and minimize scrap.
Fast Processing: Ships directly from closest regional distribution hubs to guarantee minimal transit times and reduced freight costs.
Submittal Assistance: Need cut sheets or manufacturer technical data sheets for engineering approval? Call our sales team directly at 833-268-8644 for immediate jobsite support.
Technical Note: To prevent structural degradation from galvanic corrosion, installers must utilize dual-rated AL7CU or AL9CU mechanical compression lugs or mechanical split-bolts when joining this aluminum cable to copper busbars or breaker terminals. Penetrox or similar antioxidant joint compound must be thoroughly applied to all bare aluminum conductors before final structural torquing. While the PVC jacket isolates the interior armor against direct soil or chemical contact, minimum trench depth profiles must strictly comply with NEC Article 300.5 tables (typically requiring 24 inches of earth cover for direct-buried cables not under concrete paths, or 18 inches beneath standard structural landscapes).
DISCLAIMER: The technical information provided is for general reference only. Large-scale high-voltage feeder systems and underground distribution paths must strictly adhere to the National Electrical Code (NEC), local electrical building enforcement, and relevant safety parameters. Always cross-reference the official product submittal data sheet from the chosen manufacturer prior to finalizing structural configurations or executing structural cuts.

The 350 MCM 3C Direct Burial Aluminum MC Cable with Bare Ground is a commercial-grade, ultra-high-capacity bulk power cable designed for main service entrances and industrial branch distribution. It features three 350 MCM compact stranded 8000 series aluminum alloy circuit conductors paired with a bare aluminum safety ground wire. The entire internal core assembly is armored with a flexible, spiraled interlocking aluminum metal-clad (MC) tape and completely encased within a thick, sunlight-resistant, waterproof PVC outer jacket rated for up to 600V.
This massive, jacketed armor cable is optimized for permanent installations requiring high ampacity and robust physical guarding without the need for traditional pipe routing. Common uses include:
Wire America ships all of our 350 MCM 3C Direct Burial Aluminum MC Cable directly from our centralized fulfillment centers throughout the United States. We are able to cut to length, process, and ship your order within 1–2 business days and ship straight to your job site, commercial, or residential property. Most standard orders arrive at your doorstep within 2 to 4 business days, with expedited shipping options available at checkout.
When buried at the correct legal depth and kept away from sharp, piercing rocks, a high-quality PVC-jacketed MC cable is engineered to last 30 to 50 years—and often even longer. Because the PVC jacket isolates the metal from moisture, and the aluminum armor protects the wires from physical soil shifts, the components inside essentially sit in a perfectly preserved environment.
No. While the PVC jacket is heavily treated with UV inhibitors to protect it from sunlight damage during construction, it is not legally rated to sit exposed on the ground permanently. Over many years, intense direct sunlight, freezing ice, lawn equipment, and local wildlife can slowly degrade the plastic skin. It must either be buried in a trench or securely strapped along a building framework.
