Abstract
A metal-clad cable assembly includes a conductor assembly having at least two conductors and a binder disposed around the at least two conductors. The cable assembly also includes a bare grounding conductor disposed externally to the conductor assembly and at least partially within at least one interstice formed between the at least two conductors. A metal sheath is disposed around the conductor assembly and the bare grounding conductor. The binder exerts a force on the bare grounding conductor to position the bare grounding conductor against an interior surface of the metal sheath.
