Application & Features

Southwire's 600 Volt Power Drop Cables conform to NFPA 79 and are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays (TC-ER per NEC 336.10), direct burial and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 75°C in wet locations and 90°C in dry locations, 130°C for emergency overload, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. For uses in Class I, II, Division 2 hazardous locations per NEC Article 501 and 502. Southwire's 600 Volt Power Drop Cable is ideal for use in power feed drop applications.

* Ampacities based upon 2023 NEC Table 310.16 and do not take into account the overcurrent protection limitations in NEC 240.4(D) of 15 Amps for 14 AWG CU, 20 Amps for 12 AWG CU, and 30 Amps for 10 AWG CU (independent of the conductor temperature rating and stranding if size is present in table). Also, see NEC sections 310.15 and 110.14(C) for additional requirements.
