Copperweld CCA UF-B cable can be used as feeder wiring to extend electrical service underground or as indoor branch circuit wiring. It can be direct-buried or run through conduit. Made with a durable PVC jacket offering sunlight and moisture resistance, Copperweld CCA UF-B cable is rated for use in both wet and dry locations.
Copperweld CCA UF-B Cable uses 1/6th the amount of copper when upsized two AWG sizes against copper conductors, as is required by the NEC for most electrical circuits. This upsizing provides improved electrical performance to equivalently rated copper conductors while also reducing the financial impact of volatile price fluctuations experienced with copper products.
CCA conductors are the most electrically efficient of the three building wire conductor materials permitted by the NEC when installed accordingly, providing up to 2.7% less impedance over the equivalently rated copper conductors, and 7% less impedance over the same sized aluminum conductors. Less impedance translates to improved energy efficiency.
Copperweld CCA UF-B Cable weighs less than copper UF-B cables of equivalent ampacity. Copperweld CCA UF-B Cable's reduced weight allows for easier handling.
Wire theft continues to be a topic of great importance to builders and contractors. Copperweld's CCA UF-B Cable reduces wire theft incentive because its scrap value is a small fraction of that of copper scrap.
