Product Information

Also Known As:

8 XHHW-2 cable, 8 XHHW-2 cable, 8 rw90 cable, 8 rw90 wire, 8 type se cable style u type XHHW-2, 8 XHHW-2, 8 southwire XHHW-2, 8 XHHW-2 insulation, 8 awg wire, 8 gauge aluminum wire, 8 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.
