FAQs

Can I use this cable indoors?

Yes, this cable can be used for exposed or concealed wiring in indoor dry locations, though it is specifically optimized for underground and damp conditions.

Does this cable require conduit?

It is rated for direct burial, so it does not strictly require conduit underground, though local codes may vary; check your municipal requirements.

What is the gauge of this wire?

This is a 12-gauge copper wire, which is standard for many 20-amp electrical circuits.

Is the cable UV resistant?

Yes, the jacket is sunlight-resistant, making it safe for use in exterior, above-ground applications.

Can this be used for 220V circuits?

This cable has two conductors and a ground. It can be used for various circuits, but verify your specific voltage and amperage requirements against the 12-gauge capacity.

Is this a solid or stranded wire?

This is a solid copper conductor wire, which is typical for UF-B feeder cable applications.

Troubleshooting

No power at the end of the run

Check the connections at both the circuit breaker and the terminal box to ensure wires are properly seated and tightened.

Tripping breaker during use

Verify that the total wattage of the devices being powered does not exceed the capacity of the 12-gauge wire.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to moisture and corrosion for long-term reliability
  • Suitable for a wide range of environments, including wet and damp locations
  • Sunlight-resistant outer jacket for exterior durability
  • UL-listed for safety and performance compliance
  • Can be used for both underground and exposed exterior wiring

Cons

  • Requires proper trenching depth according to local building codes
  • 100-foot length may be heavy to handle during installation
  • Not intended for use in high-heat areas like ceiling fixtures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of this UF-B cable must be performed in accordance with your local electrical codes. When installing, ensure the cable is buried at the appropriate depth to avoid accidental damage from shovels or garden equipment. While the cable is resistant to moisture, ensure that all junction boxes and connection points are properly rated for wet locations to prevent water ingress at the termination points. For care, perform periodic visual inspections of any exposed sections of the cable where it transitions from the ground to a structure to ensure the jacket has not been compromised by UV degradation or mechanical wear.
