SPEC: 10010
12 SOL CU USE-2 RHH-RHW-2 600V BLACK 500 FT
Southwire #: 11339903
Application & Features
Southwire's USE-2 600 Volts or RHH/RHW-2 1000 Volts power cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial, aerial supported by a messenger, and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation in wet and dry locations, 130°C for emergency overload, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. Rated for 1000 lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure.
