RHW-2 is a single-conductor power and control cable with XLPE insulation. This wire is primarily used in direct burial and aerial installations, chemical plants, raceways, ducts, and industrial applications. It also excels in wet or dry locations, indoors or outdoors, underground ducts, or lashed to a messenger wire for aerial installation.
Single conductors are available in solid or stranded and annealed or hardened configurations. Tin coated copper conductors are also available.
Conductors are insulated with a concentrically applied XLPE (crosslinked polyethylene) that is FT2 flame and “Oil and Gasoline Resistant I” rated. An optional VW-1 flame rating is available on request. CT (FT4) rating in sizes #1/0 and larger is also available on request.
All black insulation is rated “Sunlight Resistant.” All colored insulation is rated “Sunlight Resistant” in sizes #6 AWG and larger, and optional in sizes #8 AWG and smaller.
Print legends on the wire include the manufacturer, conductor size, voltage rating, UL symbol (if applicable) and type designation. Standard length spools are 500 or 2500 feet.
