As a guess only, I suspect the "X" is a reference to the cable being fleXible in nature. Looking Forward, denco-ga |

I did quite a bit of searching, and could not find what it stands for exactly. "Basic armored cable was developed in the early 1900s by Harry Greenfield and Gus Johnson, who called their product BX cable. It has become a generic term for all armored cable." Apparently it's just a brand name with no literal meaning. Although, I can't say that as a fact. |
