Southwire 55213443 12/2 Low Voltage Cable 100 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55213443 is a 12-gauge, 2-conductor stranded low voltage underground cable rated for systems not exceeding 150 volts. Designed for direct burial and outdoor exposed installations, it features a black PVC (polyvinyl chloride) insulated jacket that resists UV exposure and moisture. The two insulated conductors are laid out in a flat, duplexed construction, which simplifies separation and termination during installation. Licensed electricians and landscape lighting professionals rely on this cable for reliable low-voltage wiring in outdoor environments where durability and ease of handling matter.

This cable is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor applications including accent lighting, landscape lighting, and security lighting installations. The flat duplexed construction allows technicians to quickly split conductors at fixture connection points without additional tools. Its UV-resistant jacket makes it appropriate for runs that include sections exposed directly to sunlight as well as buried segments in the same continuous run. Operating temperature range of -20 degrees C to 60 degrees C supports installations in a wide range of climates.

Key Features

• 12-gauge, 2-conductor stranded construction for flexible routing in outdoor landscape runs
• Rated for systems not exceeding 150 volts
• Black PVC jacket rated for direct burial and sunlight exposure
• Flat duplexed conductor layout simplifies field termination and fixture connections
• Operating temperature range: -20 degrees C to 60 degrees C
• 100-foot spool length reduces the need for mid-run splices on standard landscape layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-installation option for residential and light commercial low-voltage outdoor lighting systems not exceeding 150 volts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified landscape lighting technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage exterior wiring. Disconnect and de-energize the transformer before making any conductor connections at fixtures or junction points. When burying cable, follow local code requirements for minimum burial depth to protect against physical damage. Avoid sharp bends or pinch points where the cable transitions from buried to exposed runs.
