Southwire 55213442 12/2 Low Voltage Cable 50 Ft Landscape

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55213442 is a 12-gauge, 2-conductor stranded low voltage underground cable rated for circuits not exceeding 150 volts. It is designed for burial and outdoor exposed installations where landscape, accent, or security lighting systems require a reliable power feed. The flat, duplexed construction separates the two insulated conductors cleanly, reducing the effort required to split and terminate wires at fixtures and transformers. A black PVC jacket protects the conductors from moisture, UV exposure, and physical abrasion. Licensed electricians and landscape lighting installers are the typical professionals working with this cable.

This cable is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor lighting applications, including low voltage landscape lighting, pathway and accent lighting, and perimeter security lighting. It can be direct-buried underground or run exposed above grade where sunlight contact is a factor. The 50-foot spool length covers standard residential landscape runs from a transformer to multiple fixture zones without splicing.

Key Features

• 12 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation in trenched or surface runs
• 2-conductor flat construction allows easy teardown and separation at fixture connection points
• Rated for circuits not exceeding 150 volts, compatible with standard low voltage landscape transformers
• UV-resistant black PVC jacket approved for direct sunlight and outdoor exposed installations
• Suitable for direct underground burial without additional conduit in applicable installations
• Operating temperature range of -20 degrees C to 60 degrees C for year-round outdoor use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard low voltage landscape lighting systems and transformers operating at circuits not exceeding 150 volts in residential and light commercial outdoor applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified landscape lighting technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for low voltage wiring. De-energize the transformer and confirm zero voltage at the cable terminals before making any connections or cuts. For underground runs, follow local code requirements for burial depth to protect the cable from damage. Avoid sharp bends at junction points that could stress the conductor insulation over time.
