This is 6/3 UF-B underground feeder cable with three stranded copper conductors and an uninsulated grounding conductor. The conductors are Type THHN/THWN, laid parallel, and made of stranded annealed bare copper. It is rated 600 volts and 75°C.
A tough PVC jacket protects against mechanical damage, moisture, chemicals and corrosion. The jacket also resists sunlight, and the conductors resist grease and chemicals.
The cable is permitted for underground use, including direct burial in earth, as feeder or branch circuit cable where overcurrent protection is provided. It can also be used for interior wiring in wet, dry or corrosive locations under recognized National Electrical Code (NEC) wiring methods. It may be installed as non-metallic sheathed cable under NEC Article 339-3 (4).
