a bx cable is an armored cable that has a flexible aluminum or steel sheath over the conductors and is fairly resistant to damage. It s used for wiring.

You need fittings and bushings for the bx, should be available where you purchased the metallic sheathed cable. There is a tool to cut through the sheath and leave the wires unscathed... looks like a can opener. Install like you would romex. Make sure to connect ground too!
