You don't glue BX cable to steel. If it has to go on a beam, you usually hold it on with plastic 'tie wraps'.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Wire ties are not recommended for mounting armored bx cables to steel beams. Wire ties are normally used for bundling wires together to keep them neat, though some glue on cabinet tabs are made to mount wires inside control cabinets. These are not meant for external wire mounting.
Cast aluminum clamps are made that hold the bx cable to the beam. a hole must be drilled in the beam to mount the clamps with screws, OR specially made mounting clamps (similar to c-clamps can be mounted to the edge of the beam, then the clamps mounted to those. It is recommended there be no less than one clamp every 6 feet (~2 meters).

What is armored cable made from?
Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Unarmored electrical cable has no protective flexible steel covering, its covering is made of plastic. <><><> Armored cable (BX) is the older version of Metal Clad cable (MC). It was flexible steel covered wire that used the steel as it's Ground. BX was a poor grounding system so it was replaced with MC which looks similar but has a separate Grounding conductor. MC is most often made with aluminum as its cover. Armored cable if used today will refer to MC type wiring. <><><> Some kinds of armored cable are in fact made to a tougher standard than the ordinary soft wire strand types of shielded cable that are used for hooking-up antennas. The 'armor' is actually a thin flexible metal film that better protects the wire or wires inside from damage in high use or high traffic areas. Such kinds of armored cable are also used in radio frequency assemblies in electronic equipment.
What is the difference between sheathed and non-sheathed cable?
Cable sheath current is a current induced in the sheath by radio, magnetic or other interference, or a fault condition. The cable sheath should be grounded at one end so that this current flows to ground safely.

Bronx
What is a BX connector?
A BX connector is a special type of box connector used for securing a BX cable to a junction box. BX is a type of armoured cable that is used for specific locations where ordinary Romex cable could become damaged. Before the connector is installed onto the BX cable there is a small PVC collar to be installed. In the trade it is called an anti short. It slides between the outer sheath of the BX and the conductors inside the sheath. It adds protection for the inner conductors from rubbing against the outer sheath if any vibration is involved in the installation. There is usually a small hole in the BX connector and the red anti short can be seen through this hole. This makes it easy for the electrical inspector to see if the anti short bushing has been installed during an inspection, and they do check.
Who is bx cable name after?
BRONX
Was silver ever used in bx wire?
No, silver was never used in BX cable.
Where did BX get its name?
The term BX is a trademark owned by GE. The term "BX" is a short form for Bronx because GE had a facility to make the cable.
Is the outer sheath on BX cable an adequate ground path?
It used to be, but now the ground wire (which replaced the aluminum strip) in the BX cable is used. The ground wire is now used to complete the grounding of connected devices rather that the sheath of the BX.
What kind of products does the company BX Cable offer?
BX Cable Company produces a variety of cables made from many different materials and in differing lengths for both the personal and commercial markets.
What is the difference between MC and AC or BX cable?
It is blue and yellow if that is ok.

Burger king (bk) used in cctv, lcd,plasma, networking,in digi-key,etc..
When armored cable is used what protection is provided at the cable end?
these little devices are generally called connectors when you cut the armor it leaves some burs so there a little fiber bushing you slip under the armor and over the wire before putting in into the connector and into the box rome cable company had a armored cable they called BX which kinda stuck the generic term is MC for metal clad MC Cable Connectors <<>> These little red bushings that come with rolls of BX cable are called anti-shorts. <<>> the little bushings are also called redheads
