URD Cable Single Conductor Application
Single-conductor URD Wire is an XLPE-insulated conductor for utility underground applications, including direct burial, or for installation in electrical ducts or raceways. Single-conductor URD is permitted for 600-volt applications. Suitable for NEC applications when used as USE-2 per UL 854 and NEC 310.104(A). Suitable for use in wet or dry locations not exceeding 90°C for normal operation, 130°C for emergency overloads not to exceed 100 hours within 12 consecutive months.
Configuration
Black phase insulated conductors cabled with neutral. Neutral will be marked with yellow striping or yellow jacket.
