Underground Feeder and Branch Circuit Cable. 600 Volt. Copper Conductors. Sunlight, Moisture,
and Fungus Resistant Overall PVC Jacket.
Southwire® copper UF-B cable is generally used as feeder to outside post lamps,
pumps, and other loads or apparatus fed from a distribution point in an existing
building as specified in the 2011 National Electrical Code. UF-B cable may be used
underground, including direct burial. Multiple conductor UF-B cable may be used for
interior branch circuit wiring in residential or agricultural buildings at conductor
temperatures not to exceed 90°C (with ampacity limited to that for 60°C conductors)
as specified by the National Electrical Code. UF-B can be used in applications
permitted for NMC in Section 334.10(B) of the National Electrical Code. Voltage rating
for UF-B cable is 600 volts.
Southwire® copper UF-B cable complies with the following:
• ASTM - B3 and B-8
• UL Standard 83
• UL Standard 493
• Federal Specification A-A-59544
• National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, 2011 Edition
