Product Overview

The Aluminum XHHW-2 600V Cable is a high-performance power distribution cable designed for versatility in commercial, industrial, and residential applications. Featuring compact 8000 series aluminum conductors and cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, this cable is engineered to deliver reliable power transmission in wet or dry environments. Rated for 600 volts and 90°C, it combines durability, flexibility, and compliance with leading industry standards.

Key Features

  • Voltage Rating: 600V for robust power distribution.

  • Temperature Rating: Up to 90°C in wet or dry locations.

  • UV & Sunlight Resistant: Ideal for outdoor and exposed installations.

  • Compact Aluminum Conductors: Lightweight, cost-effective, and corrosion-resistant.

  • Low-Friction Insulation: XLPE provides abrasion resistance and smooth installation.

  • Color Options: Available in 10 solid colors for easy phase identification.
