Construction
Conductors:
Aluminum SEU cable has compact strand soft drawn 8000 series aluminum conductor, per ASTM B-801. The conductor is the electrode in the cable and is responsible for transmitting electric current.
Insulation:
Aluminum SEU cable has a type XHHW-2 cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation. The conductors are cabled together with a bare aluminum ground and covered with a reinforced binder tape. For color code, see table B in the technical section.
Jacket:
The cable jacket used in its design is Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). The jacket protects the inner components of the cable from potentially damaging external forces. PVC is robust and resistant to oil, sunlight, water, flames, acids, chemicals, radiation, impact, abrasion, and weather changes. Sequential footage markings that help the user identify the appropriate length during installation are noted on the cable jacket.

Application:
USE-2 cables are primarily used for power distribution, in raceways in accordance with National Electrical Code, except that the cable is not rated for use in cable tray. USE-2 is approved for direct burial and for service entrance below ground. USE-2 cables may be used in wet or dry locations, with ambient temperatures not exceeding 90°C. Voltage rating for USE-2 cable is 600V.
Conductors: USE-2 conductor is a compact soft drawn bare 8000 series aluminum, with Class B stranding per ASTM
Insulation: USE-2 has abrasion, heat and moisture resistant cross-linked polyethylene insulation XLPE
Standards:
- USE-2 meets or exceeds the following standards
- UL 44
- Requirements of the National Electrical Code
- ASTM standards B 800, B 801
- Sunlight resistant
