VASSAR/1M · 600V Secondary Underground Distribution (UD/URD) Aluminum Cable — XLPE Insulation, Type USE-2 (Single Core, Duplex, Triplex, Quadruplex)

High-reliability 600 Volt secondary underground distribution (UD / URD) cable engineered for secondary power distribution and underground service entrance installations. Constructed with 1350-series compressed stranded aluminum conductors and insulated with tough, moisture- and heat-resistant Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) rated Type USE-2. Designed for direct burial in earth or installation in underground ducts and raceways across residential, commercial, and utility environments in both wet and dry locations up to 90°C. Available in Single Core, Two-Core (Duplex), Three-Core (Triplex), and Four-Core (Quadruplex) configurations. Multi-core assemblies feature a dedicated neutral conductor identified with a distinct yellow extruded stripe for rapid jobsite identification. Manufactured free of harmful heavy metals and fully RoHS compliant.
