Copper Rhh/rhw-2/use-2
Product Overview
Copper USE-2/RHH/RHW-2 building wire combines Class B compressed stranded copper conductors with silicone-free cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, engineered for versatile power distribution in wet and dry locations. 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 while providing superior resistance to abrasion, heat, moisture, and sunlight. Certified to UL 44 and UL 854 with RoHS-2 compliance, it installs in conduit, ducts, cable trays, direct burial, and aerial messenger-supported runs. Ideal for service entrance, underground feeders, and general power distribution in commercial and residential construction.
