Product Information

Also Known As:

6 xhhw-2 cable, 6 hxxw-2 cable, 6 rw90 cable, 6 rw90 wire, 6 type se cable style u type xhhw-2 , 6 xhhw-2 , 6 southwire xhhw-2 , 6 xhhw-2 insulation, 6 aluminum wire, xhhw-2 aluminum wire, 6 gauge aluminum wire.

Conductors:

XHHW-2 conductor is a soft drawn bare 8000 series aluminum, with Class B stranding per ASTM. Stranded conductors reduce power loss and are also easier to use in applications where flexibility is vital. 

Insulation:

XHHW-2 has abrasion, heat, and moisture resistant cross-linked polyethylene insulation. Cross linking a polyethylene helps to achieve an excellent strength that makes the material suitable for covering this cable used in harsh conditions.
