A 250-foot solid metal-clad (armored) cable assembly containing two 14 AWG solid conductors and a bare aluminum grounding conductor. The metal armor provides mechanical protection for the conductors during routing and installation, with color-coded insulation (green, white) and a silver outer sheath for identification.

Bespoke Industrial Lighting Kits
Package pre-cut lengths of armored cable with sockets, LED drivers, ceiling canopies, and installation hardware to sell as DIY pendant-light kits. Offer several finishes, lengths, and wiring options (dimmable, smart drivers). Market to boutique hotels, restaurants, and homeowners who want an industrial look without custom electrical work.
Custom Shelving & Furniture Line
Design and manufacture a line of small-batch shelving and furniture that uses the armor cable as structural elements (shelves, table legs, frames). Sell direct-to-consumer through an online store and local showrooms; offer made-to-measure services for interior designers and contractors.
Workshops & Upcycling Classes
Run paid workshops teaching people how to repurpose armored cable into lights, shelves, and art. Provide tool access (cutters, deburrers, bending forms), safety training, and finished kits. This creates revenue from ticket sales and upsells (take-home kits, finished product commissions).
Contractor Supply & Prewired Assemblies
Offer pre-assembled, code-compliant runs of metal-clad cable (pre-measured and terminated) to electricians and small contractors who want time savings on repeat installations (lighting circuits, industrial equipment). Provide value-added services like labeling, custom lengths, and quick-ship inventory.

Industrial Pendant Lighting
Use lengths of the armored cable as exposed pendants for low-voltage LED fixtures. The metal-clad armor becomes the visible stem; run the two 14 AWG conductors to the LED driver and use the bare AL conductor as a ground connection. Cut and debur ends, add a decorative metal or porcelain socket, and finish with a matching canopy for a rugged, factory-style light.
Floating Shelf Supports
Cut short sections of the armored cable to act as cantilevered shelf arms. The cable's armor provides a strong, visually striking bracket; run the conductors through the arm and hide them inside the shelf for optional integrated LED strip lighting. Secure ends into a mounting plate welded or bolted to studs for a clean industrial look.
Garden Trellis & Plant Frames
Bend and shape long runs of the armored cable into durable garden trellises, obelisks, or tomato frames. The metal armor resists weathering and provides plenty of strength for climbing plants. Use cable clamps or welded joins for stable connections; the bare AL ground can be capped and tucked away for safety.
Sculptural Wirework & Room Divider
Create freestanding sculptures or a room divider by weaving and radiusing the armored runs into geometric forms. The shiny silver sheath looks intentional in modern/industrial interiors; incorporate backlit LEDs using the internal conductors to make illuminated art pieces.
