RHW/USE SPEC SHEET

USE-2 or RHW-2 or RHH

RHW-2/USE-2 cable is bare copper with cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation. RHW-2/USE-2 cable is an underground service entrance cable for direct burial in which the conductor temperature will not exceed 90°C wet or dry. RHW-2/USE-2 cable has a voltage rating of 600 volts, and is high heat, moisture and sunlight resistant. Applications include lighting and power along with general wiring applications. RHW-2/USE-2 can be used in raceway, duct, direct burial, and aerial installations. This product is available in 12-4 AWG.
