SPEC 45001
SIMpull CU 600/1000V XLPE Insulation. XHHW-2 CT Rated 1/0 and Larger
Power Cable 600 or 1000 Volt Single Conductor Copper, Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) with Simpull technology insulation XHHW-2. FT4/IEEE 1202 350kcmil and larger.

Construction:
- Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
- Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) with Simpull technology Type XHHW-2
Applications and Features:
Southwire’s 600 or 1000 Volt power cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, aerial supported by a messenger, and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation in wet and dry locations, 130°C for emergency overload, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. For uses in Class I, II, and III, Division 2 hazardous locations per NEC Article 501 and 502. FT4/IEEE 1202 on 350kcmil and larger. Rated for 1000 lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure.
