Southwire XHHW2STRWHTMR 2 Awg Stranded Copper Wire

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE XHHW2STRWHTMR is a 2 AWG stranded copper conductor rated for XHHW-2 service, sold in cut-to-length increments. XHHW-2 insulation is rated for dry and wet locations, making this wire suitable for a broad range of commercial and residential electrical installations. The stranded construction improves flexibility compared to solid conductors of the same gauge, which simplifies pulling through conduit and making terminations in tight enclosures. White jacket color aids with circuit identification and phase coding on the job site. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This wire is used in branch circuit wiring, feeder runs, and service entrance applications where a wet-rated, thermoplastic-insulated conductor is required. Its XHHW-2 rating makes it appropriate for installation in conduit systems in both indoor and outdoor environments. Cut-to-length availability reduces material waste on projects requiring non-standard run lengths. Typical applications include panel feeds, subpanel runs, and large equipment circuits in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• 2 AWG conductor size handles higher-ampacity branch and feeder circuit loads
• Stranded copper construction improves flexibility for conduit pulls and tight terminations
• XHHW-2 insulation rating covers both dry and wet location installations
• White jacket color supports phase and circuit identification per NEC color conventions
• Cut-to-length format reduces scrap and allows precise ordering for specific run lengths

Compatibility

Designed for use in conduit systems requiring a 2 AWG XHHW-2 rated stranded copper conductor in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before making any terminations. Use appropriately rated lugs and connectors sized for 2 AWG stranded copper. Do not exceed the conductor ampacity as derated for conduit fill, ambient temperature, and installation conditions per NEC tables.
