SOUTHWIRE TYPE UF-B UNDERGROUND FEEDER CABLE - 12/2, 50 FT

Southwire Type UF-B underground feeder cable delivers power to outdoor and underground branch circuits without conduit. Solid copper conductors are individually insulated and jacketed in a sunlight- and moisture-resistant PVC overall covering rated for direct burial at 600V.

• Type UF-B, 12 AWG solid copper, 2-conductor with ground (black/white plus bare copper ground)
• Rated for 600V direct burial - no conduit required
• Sunlight-resistant and moisture-resistant outer jacket
• Feeds outdoor post lamps, pond/well pumps, landscape lighting, sheds, and detached outbuildings
• 12 AWG carries up to 20 amps on a 60 deg C terminal-temperature branch circuit
• Pre-cut convenience length - individually boxed for self-service
• UL Listed
• 50 Ft Length

50 Ft cut length covers typical residential outbuilding feeds, garden lighting trunks, and well-pump branches where the run is across a single yard.

Tip: NEC 300.5 sets the minimum burial depth for residential UF-B branch circuits at 24 inches in plain earth, 18 inches under at least 4 inches of concrete, or 12 inches when GFCI-protected and run under a residential driveway or sidewalk. Use a UF-rated cable connector or strain-relief fitting at every box entry; the cable jacket is tough but kinks at sharp box edges over time. For trench runs, sand-bed the cable, run a yellow caution tape 12 inches above it, and back-fill in compacted lifts to prevent settling damage.
