  2. Insulation:Heat and moisture resistant cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation in various colors

Applications and Features:

Southwire SIMpull® XHHW-2/RW90 Aluminum Wire & Cable with Alumaflex® Brand conductors are primarily used in conduit and cable trays for services, feeders and branch circuits in commercial or industrial applications as specified in the National Electrical Code. XHHW-2/RW90 conductors is suitable for use in dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C. Voltage for all applications is up to 1000 volts. Suitable for use in Health Care Facilities per section 517.160 of the NEC where a dielectric constant of 3.5 or less may be specified. This cable can be installed without application of pulling lubricant. RW90 is for open wiring and use in raceways (except cable troughs and ventilated flexible cableways) in dry or wet locations as per Canadian Electrical Code. For open wiring exposed to the weather.
