XHHW-2 Cable: Built for Reliable Power Distribution

Sep 29,2026
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.
XHHW 2 Cable Cross Section and Industrial Commercial Applications
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.
