Download PDF Download Excel Table

Construction:

Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare or tinned copper per ASTM B3, ASTM B8 and ASTM B33.
Insulation:SOLONONplus® Cross Linked Polyolefin Low Smoke Zero Halogen (XLPO LSZH) Type RHH/RHW-2 USE-2

Applications and Features:

Southwire’s 600 Volt SOLONONplus® Type RHH/RHW-2 USE-2 cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial and aerially when supported by a messenger. These cables are ideal for use in establishments where low smoke and low acid emissions are desired for public safety and health 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.

a. The conductors are available in tinned and flexible copper stranding upon request.
b. NEC compliant
c. The halogen content is less than 0.2% and Acid gas less than 2.0%
d. Passes UL VW-1 #10 AWG and larger
e. 70,000 BTU/Hr. Vertical Flame Test
f. UL listed for CT use on 1/0 and Larger
g. UL listed FT4 and ST-1 (limited smoke)
h. -40°C Cold impact and cold bend
i. Gasoline and Oil Resistant GRI and GRII
j. UV/Sunlight resistant all colors
k. Color available upon request
l. Rated for direct burial
