Southwire 20858706 UF-B Underground Feeder Cable, Gray, 8 AWG, 2-Conductor with Ground, Copper, 7-Strand, 600V, 1000ft

This Southwire UF-B cable is designed for underground feeder and branch circuit applications, featuring 8 AWG copper conductors in a 2-conductor configuration with ground. The cable's robust construction includes stranded copper conductors insulated with PVC and nylon sheath, protected by a gray PVC jacket that stands up to moisture and sunlight exposure. With a voltage rating of 600 volts, this cable excels in outdoor installations like post lamps and pumps, and can be directly buried underground. The cable measures approximately 0.302 x 0.678 inches in diameter and weighs 222 lbs per 1000 feet. Built to meet rigorous industry standards including ASTM B3 and B8 specifications, this UF-B cable is suitable for both residential and agricultural applications. It can handle conductor temperatures up to 90°C, though ampacity is limited to 60°C conductor ratings per National Electrical Code requirements. The integrated ground conductor ensures proper grounding for safety and code compliance.
