Southwire 12LC10 12 Awg 2-conductor Direct Burial Wire 250 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 12LC10 is a 12 AWG 2-conductor direct burial lighting wire supplied in a 250-foot roll. This wire is designed for underground low-voltage outdoor lighting circuits, providing a durable, moisture-resistant conductor path without the need for conduit in most installations. Electricians and landscape lighting professionals install this wire for pathway lighting, area lighting, and other exterior fixture runs that require a direct burial-rated cable. The 12-gauge conductors support longer runs with reduced voltage drop compared to smaller gauge alternatives.

This wire is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor lighting applications where cables must be routed underground. Typical installations include landscape lighting systems, exterior pathway lighting, and low-voltage site lighting runs. It is sold in 250-foot increments, making it appropriate for larger lighting layouts or multiple circuit runs from a single transformer or distribution point.

Key Features

• 12 AWG conductors support longer runs with lower voltage drop
• 2-conductor configuration for standard lighting circuit wiring
• Direct burial rated for underground installation without conduit
• 250-foot roll quantity suited for large landscape or site lighting projects
• Ordered in 250-foot increments per roll

Compatibility

Designed as a direct burial-rated 2-conductor lighting wire for use with standard outdoor low-voltage and line-voltage landscape lighting systems. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for direct burial cable depth and application. De-energize the circuit and confirm the power source is locked out before making any connections. Follow local code requirements for minimum burial depth, which typically varies based on voltage and whether conduit is used. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable during installation to maintain insulation integrity.
