Aluminum Rhh/rhw-2/use-2

Aluminum USE-2/RHH/RHW-2 building wire combines Class B compact stranded 8000 series aluminum alloy conductors with silicone-free cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, engineered as a lightweight, economical alternative to copper for power distribution. This professional-grade wire is dual-rated at 600V (USE-2) and 1000V (RHH/RHW-2), operating at 90°C with 130°C emergency overload and 250°C short-circuit capability in wet or dry locations. Certified to UL 44 and UL 854 with RoHS-2 compliance, it installs in conduit, ducts, cable trays, direct burial, and aerial applications. Ideal for service entrance, underground feeders, and cost-effective commercial and residential power distribution.
