Product Overview

The Type Aluminum Conductor Mobile Home Feeder Cable is a high-performance, triple-rated cable designed for permanent electrical wiring in mobile homes and prefabricated structures. Certified for USE-2, RHH, and RHW-2E applications, this cable combines Compact Stranded Aluminum Alloy 8000 Series conductors with sunlight-resistant XLPE insulation, ensuring durability, safety, and compliance with NEC standards. Rated for 600 volts and 90°C, it is suitable for wet/dry locations, direct burial, and conduit installations.

Key Features

  • Triple Rating: Certified for USE-2 (underground), RHH (high heat), and RHW-2 (moisture and heat resistance).

  • Aluminum Alloy Conductors: ASTM B800/B801/B836-compliant 8000 Series for lightweight, corrosion-resistant performance.

  • Sunlight-Resistant XLPE Insulation: UV-stabilized for outdoor and direct burial use (8 AWG and larger).

  • Color-Coded Wires: Two black phase conductors, one white neutral, and one green ground for easy identification.

  • Flame Retardant: 1/0 AWG and larger comply with UL-1685 flame test requirements.

  • Compliance: UL, ANSI/ICEA, IEEE, RoHS, and RUS standards.

Engineering Selection Guide

  1. Mobile Home Installations: Mandatory for NEC-compliant permanent wiring.

  2. Direct Burial: Select USE-2 rating for underground applications without conduit.

  3. High-Temperature Zones: Utilize RHH/RHW-2 ratings for areas exposed to heat or moisture.

  4. Cost Efficiency: Aluminum alloy reduces weight and cost vs. copper, ideal for large-scale projects.
