Southwire 10lc10 Direct Burial Cable 10 Awg 2-conductor

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 10lc10 is a 250-foot spool of 10 AWG, 2-conductor direct burial cable rated for underground voltage lighting applications. Designed to be installed without conduit, this cable is built to withstand direct contact with soil, moisture, and the mechanical stresses common in buried runs. At 10 gauge, it supports the current capacity needed for low-voltage landscape lighting circuits and similar outdoor electrical systems. Electricians and landscape lighting installers use this cable for permanent underground wiring where code-compliant burial depth and a durable jacket are required.

This cable is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor lighting installations, including pathway lighting, area lighting, and other direct burial voltage lighting circuits. The 2-conductor configuration supports standard line runs from a power source to fixtures or junction points. The 250-foot length covers extended runs common in larger properties or multi-zone lighting layouts, reducing the need for splices along a single circuit run.

Key Features

• Direct burial rated — no conduit required for underground installation
• 10 AWG conductor size supports higher current capacity on longer runs
• 2-conductor configuration for standard voltage lighting circuits
• 250-foot spool length minimizes mid-run splices on extended installations
• Black jacket for identification and UV resistance in exposed sections

Compatibility

Designed as a direct burial replacement or new-installation cable for outdoor voltage lighting systems requiring 10 AWG, 2-conductor underground wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 300 requirements for direct burial conductors, including minimum burial depth specifications for the circuit voltage and application. De-energize the circuit at the breaker before making any connections. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable during pulling, as this can damage the jacket and insulation. Verify local burial depth requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before trenching.
