What is 2-2-2-4 quadruplex URD cable used for?

It feeds secondary distribution circuits: service laterals, detached garages, shops and subpanels. It is installed direct-buried or pulled into ducts outdoors.

Can it be buried directly in the ground?

Yes. Nassau rates it for direct burial as well as duct installation, and for wet or dry locations up to 90°C.

Does aluminum URD need special connectors?

Yes. Use lugs and connectors listed for aluminum, and apply an antioxidant compound at terminations to prevent corrosion.

What do the 2-2-2-4 numbers mean?

Three conductors are 2 AWG and the fourth, the neutral, is 4 AWG. The three 2 AWG conductors serve the two hots and the ground in a typical setup.

Is this the same as coaxial or TV cable?

No. It is 600V power distribution cable for outdoor secondary circuits, not signal cable for televisions or antennas.

Our take on the 950' Dyke 2-2-2-4 Aluminum URD Quadruplex Secondary Distribution Cable

This is Nassau's 950-foot reel of quadruplex aluminum URD cable: three 2 AWG phase conductors plus a 2 AWG neutral, rated 600V and 90°C. It is built for secondary distribution runs, installed direct-buried or pulled into ducts, and works in wet or dry locations. It suits electricians and property owners wiring a service lateral, subpanel feed or outbuilding rather than anyone shopping for indoor TV cabling. Against copper URD it is lighter and easier to handle but needs aluminum-rated lugs and more careful termination.
