Applications
Type UF-B cable is generally used as feeder to outside post lamps, pumps and other loads or apparatus fed from a distribution point in an existing building as specified in the National Electrical Code. UF-B cable may be underground, including direct burial. Multiple conductor UF-B cable may be used for interior branch circuit wiring in residential or agricultural buildings at conductor temperatures not to exceed 90°C (with ampacity limited to that for 60°C conductors) as specified in the National Electrical Code. UF-B can be used in applications permitted in Section 339 of the National Electrical Code. Voltage rating for UF-B cable is 600 volts.
Specifications
Type UF-B cable meets or exceeds UL Standard 83, UL Standard 493, Federal Specification A-A-59544 and requirements of the National Electrical Code® (NFPA 70).
Construction
Type UF-B cable is manufactured as 2 or 3 conductor cable, with a ground wire. Copper conductors are annealed (soft) copper, solid or compressed stranded.
