Our take on the Aluminum SER 2-2-2-2-4 Round Service Entrance Cable 1000 ft

This is 1,000 ft of 2 AWG aluminum SER service entrance cable with four conductors, rated 100 amps at 600V and listed to UL 854. It is built for running power from a meter or main panel to a subpanel, and the XLPE insulation and PVC jacket handle wet and dry locations up to 90°C. Aluminum is lighter and cheaper than copper but needs antioxidant paste and aluminum-rated lugs at every termination. No price was provided for this listing, so compare per-foot cost against local supply houses before ordering a full spool.

Pros
  • Four 2 AWG aluminum conductors in one jacketed assembly
  • 100A ampacity suits most subpanel feeders
  • Rated 600V and 90°C for service entrance use
  • XLPE insulation and PVC jacket work in wet and dry locations
  • UL 854 listed and RoHS compliant
  • 1,000 ft spool cuts waste on long runs
Cons
  • Aluminum needs antioxidant paste and aluminum-rated lugs
  • Larger conduit fill than copper for the same ampacity
  • Not for direct burial unless your local code allows it
  • A full spool is heavy and awkward to handle alone
  • No price given here, so per-foot value is unverified

Questions and answers

Is 2 AWG aluminum SER enough for a 100A subpanel?
Yes. Four-conductor 2 AWG aluminum SER is commonly used for 100A feeder runs to a subpanel. Confirm the run length and voltage drop with your electrician or local inspector.
Can this cable be buried underground?
SER is generally for above-ground service entrance and wet/dry locations, not direct burial. Use a UL-listed underground feeder cable or conduit if the run goes in the ground.
What do I need at the terminations?
Use lugs and breakers rated for aluminum, and apply antioxidant paste on the stripped conductors. Torque to the panel manufacturer's spec.
How does it compare with copper SER?
Aluminum is lighter and usually cheaper per foot, but copper needs no antioxidant paste and takes standard lugs. For a 100A feeder, 2 AWG aluminum is the common choice.
What is in the box?
One 1,000 ft spool of gray four-conductor 2 AWG aluminum SER cable. Lugs, paste and conduit are not included.
