XHHW-2 Cable: Built for Reliable Power Distribution
When electrical systems operate in demanding environments, temperature, moisture, sunlight, and installation conditions can all affect cable performance and long-term reliability.
Designed for demanding power distribution applications, XHHW-2 cable combines 90°C wet and dry ratings, XLPE insulation, and copper or aluminum conductor options for a range of installation requirements.
What Is XHHW-2 Cable?
XHHW-2 is an insulated electrical wire type commonly used for commercial and industrial power distribution. It typically features cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and is rated for 90°C operation in both wet and dry locations.
Compared with XHHW, which is rated at 90°C dry and 75°C wet, XHHW-2 provides a higher wet-location temperature rating for demanding installations.
| Wire Type | Dry Location | Wet Location |
| XHHW | 90°C | 75°C |
| XHHW-2 | 90°C | 90°C |
