Introducing the Southwire 50 ft. 10/3 Solid Type UF-B WG Underground Feeder Cable — a purpose-built feeder designed for direct burial and outdoor reliability. This cable is engineered to deliver steady power to detached structures, outbuildings, or anywhere an underground feed is required, without compromising safety or performance.
Key features meet the demands of real-world installs:
-
Conductor configuration: 10 AWG solid copper conductors, 3 insulated conductors plus a 10 AWG copper ground, providing a reliable three-wire feeder with a dedicated ground for safety.
-
Direct burial and moisture resilience: Rated for direct burial and wet locations, giving you confidence in long-term underground installations.
-
Durable jacket and insulation: PVC insulation paired with a rugged nylon jacket enhances abrasion resistance, UV stability, and overall durability in outdoor environments.
-
Electrical ratings and approvals: 600V rating, UL Listed, and a 90°C temperature rating, designed for efficient, higher-temperature operation in compliant circuits.
-
Ampacity and suitability: 30 A amp rating makes this cable well-suited for residential feeders to subpanels or detached structures where 10 AWG copper is appropriate.
-
Outdoor/indoor versatility: Indoor and outdoor use in a single run, with a gray jacket that stands up to outdoor exposure while remaining flexible for routing.
-
Practical build: Solid conductors for stable, continuous conductivity and a robust ground path to support safe electrical feeders.
Who is this ideal for? Homeowners expanding power to a detached garage, workshop, pool cabana, or outdoor kitchen; contractors wiring outbuildings; and any project requiring a reliable underground feeder that won’t compromise on safety or code compliance.
Why choose this UF-B WG cable over alternatives? It combines direct-burial readiness with a nylon jacket for enhanced durability, a 90°C rating for flexible circuit design, and a UL-listed, 600V-rated build that stands up to wet, outdoor conditions. The 50 ft length gives you substantial reach without unnecessary splices, helping you keep runs clean and protected.
Practical tips for install and use:
- Plan burial depth and trenching according to local electrical codes, and protect the run where it crosses driveways or landscape features.
- Use UF-rated connectors and proper strain relief at terminations; if routing near ground surfaces or through areas with potential physical impact, consider additional conduit protection.
- Match the load to the 30 A rating and 10 AWG copper capacity; for larger feeders or higher-demand equipment, consult an electrical professional to determine the appropriate gauge and number of conductors.
- Keep the installation organized by labeling both ends clearly and documenting the run for future maintenance or upgrades.
