Construction:

  1. Conductor:AlumaFlex® Single Input Wire (SIW) Compact Stranded Aluminum Alloy (AA-8176)
  2. Insulation:Southwire’s Super Sunlight Resistant (SSRTM) Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE)

Applications and Features:

Southwire’s new Super Sunlight Resistant – SSR Type PV cables are leading the industry with features such as enhanced UV stability, color permanence and aged physical properties, providing you with the most reliable solutions for your PV wiring systems. The cable is available in sizes 6 AWG through 1000 kcmil. The product is approved for use in solar power applications per the NEC article 690 and is rated 90°C for exposed or concealed wiring in wet or dry locations. Individual conductors are stranded aluminum alloy covered with a cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and is rated for direct burial. The cable is sunlight resistant, RoHS compliant, passes -40°C cold bend.

    † Ampacities based upon 2023 NEC Table 310.16 and do not take into account the overcurrent protection limitations in NEC 240.4(D) of 15 Amps for 14 AWG CU, 20 Amps for 12 AWG CU, and 30 Amps for 10 AWG CU (independent of the conductor temperature rating and stranding if size is present in table). Also, see NEC sections 310.15 and 110.14(C) for additional requirements.
    † Ampacities have been adjusted for more than Three Current-Carrying Conductors.
    * Inductive impedance is based on non-ferrous conduit with one diameter spacing center-to-center.
