Southwire 55213243 14/2 Low Voltage Cable 100 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55213243 is a 14-gauge, 2-conductor stranded low voltage underground cable rated for applications not exceeding 150 volts. Sold in 100-foot lengths, it is designed for outdoor accent lighting, landscape lighting, and security lighting installations. The conductors are duplexed in a flat construction, which allows the cable to be split apart cleanly during installation without special tools. A black PVC jacket covers the insulated conductors and provides protection against sunlight exposure when the cable is run above grade. Licensed electricians and landscape lighting installers work with this cable in both buried and exposed outdoor runs.

This cable is suited for residential and light commercial landscape lighting systems, including low voltage pathway lights, accent spotlights, and perimeter security lighting. Its flat, duplex construction simplifies field terminations at fixture tap connectors commonly used in 12-volt and 24-volt landscape transformer systems. The cable handles direct burial applications as well as exposed outdoor runs where UV resistance is required. Operating temperature range is -20 degrees C to 60 degrees C, making it appropriate for most North American climate zones.

Key Features

• 14 AWG, 2-conductor stranded construction for flexible routing in outdoor environments
• Flat duplex design allows easy teardown and separation at fixture connection points
• Black PVC insulated jacket rated for direct sunlight exposure
• Rated for circuits not exceeding 150 volts, compatible with standard low voltage landscape transformers
• Operating temperature range of -20 degrees C to 60 degrees C
• 100-foot length reduces the need for mid-run splices on typical residential installations

Compatibility

Designed for low voltage outdoor lighting systems, including landscape accent, pathway, and security lighting applications not exceeding 150 volts. Suitable for both underground burial and exposed outdoor installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed landscape lighting contractor in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for low voltage wiring. Disconnect and power down the landscape transformer completely before making any wire connections or splicing into an existing run. When burying the cable, follow local code requirements for minimum burial depth to avoid damage from digging or frost. Avoid running the cable in conduit unless required, as the flat duplex jacket is designed for direct burial and exposed outdoor use.
