This is 8-gauge, 2-conductor UF-B cable with a bare ground, made for direct burial and wet locations. The stranded copper conductors are easier to pull around bends than solid wire, and the gray sunlight-resistant jacket is rated 600V with a 40-amp allowable ampacity both direct-buried and in duct. It suits outdoor feeders to sheds, pumps, wells and subpanels where you need a buried run without conduit. Against solid 8/2 UF-B, it costs more but pulls more easily through long or curved trenches; for short straight runs, solid wire does the same job for less. Buyers rate it highly, and the main complaints are jacket stiffness in cold weather and the need to protect it where it leaves the ground.

Buyers rate this cable very highly across 74 ratings. They like the stranded copper for pulling and the direct-burial rating for outdoor feeder work. Complaints center on stiff jacket in cold weather and handling at trench ends.
The 8/2 UF-B Underground Feeder Cable carries power from buildings to outdoor installations. It is rated for 600 volts and can be buried directly in the ground without conduit. It can also be used in outdoor sunlight and in wet or damp locations.
It is used for feeder circuits and for branch circuits with proper overcurrent protection. Typical uses include outdoor lighting, outdoor outlets and receptacles, pump systems, HVAC unit wiring, and underground branch circuits. It can also be used for indoor wiring in areas exposed to moisture.
The 8/2 size suits 240V circuits without a neutral, such as water heaters and baseboard heaters that need only two hot wires. It also suits 120V circuits with long runs, where thicker wire helps prevent voltage drop. The conductors are stranded Type THHN/THWN, laid parallel with an uninsulated grounding conductor.
