Construction:

  1. Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
  2. Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE)

Applications and Features:

Southwire’s RWU90 is designed for direct earth burial (with protection as required by the inspecting authority). For service entrance above or below ground. The minimum recommended installation temperature is minus 40°C (with suitable handling procedures). Maximum conductor temperature is 90°C. Note: Standard black is sunlight resistant and marked "SR". Standard coloured insulation is not sunlight resistant. SIMpull® technology on sizes #8 and larger. Cable can be installed in conduit without the aid of lubrication.
