Key Features for Direct Burial

Direct Burial Rated: Durable PVC jacket allows direct underground installation without conduit for physical support where permitted by code; local requirements often call for UF cable or UF-B cable to be buried at least 24 inches deep.
Sunlight Resistant: Suitable for outdoor and exposed installations
Moisture & Weather Resistant: Designed to resist soil acids, moisture, corrosion, and UV exposure
Integrated Ground Wire: Includes a dedicated bare copper grounding wire for enhanced electrical safety, with insulation protection that is important for underground and wet-location use.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Built for reliable long-term underground performance
Efficient Power Delivery: Copper conductors provide dependable electrical conductivity and splices in electrical circuits. Choosing the correct wire gauge is critical for load, voltage, and protection.
UL Listed: Meets UL493 safety and performance standards
