Question on BX cabling...
Seems that my house built in the early 50s is wired completely w/ BX cabling. All cabling is protected in metal tubing.
I recently had to convert a light fixture to an outlet for an electric garage door opener.
When I cut the bx armor and looked at the wiring it looked very frail and old, the insulation cab be easliy cracked off w/ having to use a stripper. Also before the insulation there was cloth white for netural and black for hot
IS the BX cabling still up to code and is it still used? Also, does wiring have a life expectancy?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Harvey
