Southwire 13056755 10 Awg 2-conductor Ufw/g Wire 250 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 13056755 is a 250-foot roll of 10 AWG 2-conductor Type UF-B underground feeder wire with ground, designed for direct earth burial in residential and light commercial branch circuit applications. This cable is built to handle wet, damp, and corrosive environments where standard NM-B cable cannot be used. The insulation resists acids, alkalis, corrosive fumes, lubricants, and groundwater, making it suitable for outdoor and underground runs. At 33.55 pounds per roll, it is sized for meaningful service runs. Electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers of this product.

Type UF-B cable is commonly used to feed outdoor receptacles, landscape lighting circuits, garden outbuildings, detached garages, and similar structures that require a buried feeder from the main panel or a subpanel. It is also listed for indoor use in wet or corrosive locations where its rugged jacket provides protection that standard cable cannot. The noncorroding, sunlight-resistant construction allows portions of the run to transition above grade without requiring conduit solely for UV protection, though local codes may still require conduit in exposed sections.

Key Features

• Rated for direct earth burial without conduit per NEC requirements for Type UF-B cable

• Highly resistant to acids, alkalis, corrosive fumes, chemicals, lubricants, and groundwater

• Sunlight-resistant and noncorroding outer jacket

• Will not support combustion

• UL listed for underground feeder and branch circuit applications

• Sold as a 250-foot roll for full circuit runs

Compatibility

Designed as a Type UF-B underground feeder cable suitable for direct-burial branch circuit wiring in residential and light commercial electrical systems where a 10 AWG 2-conductor with ground configuration is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation must comply with NEC Article 340 governing Type UF cable, including minimum burial depth requirements which vary based on circuit voltage and whether conduit is used. Always de-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before making any terminations. A licensed electrician should perform or supervise the installation, and local AHJ permits are typically required for new underground branch circuits. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable during pulling, and inspect the jacket for damage before backfilling the trench.
