XHHW-2 is a single-conductor building wire designed for harsh environments, including wastewater treatment plants, cogeneration power plants, and the pulp and paper industry, due to its protective insulation.

It also works well in low-voltage power and control applications, indoor and outdoor locations, raceways, aerial installations, and underground ducts.

XHHW-2 has an operational temperature range of –40°C to 90°C in wet locations and -40°C to 105°C in dry locations.
