10/2 UF-B Wire 100FT 10 Gauge Direct Burial Cable - Durable 600V

In this review the 10/2 UF-B Wire 100FT is evaluated for homeowners and contractors who need a straightforward, reliable run of direct burial cable. The bottom line: this cable is best for outdoor feeder runs, landscape lighting and any installation that demands a rugged jacket and solid copper conductors. The reviewer found the cable's premium bare copper conductors and UF-B compliant PVC jacket make it a sensible choice when long-life corrosion resistance and stable conductivity matter.

Key Features

• Premium Bare Copper Conductors: Solid 10 AWG copper conductors plus a 10 AWG ground deliver consistent conductivity and reduced energy loss for longer feeder runs.
• Durable PVC Sheathed Protection: A tough outer jacket resists UV, moisture and physical abrasion so the cable can be used in direct burial and wet locations with confidence.
• Wide Temperature Resilience: Rated to perform from -10C to 105C (14F to 221F), the cable keeps insulation and conductivity stable across a broad climate range.
• Flexible & User-Friendly: The supple jacket makes bending and routing easier, reducing time spent fitting runs through conduits or around corners.
• 600V Industrial-Grade Voltage: A 600V rating makes this cable suitable for residential and light commercial power distribution and outdoor lighting circuits.

Who It's For

This cable is aimed at homeowners doing outdoor electrical projects, landscapers installing low-voltage lighting and electricians who need a dependable direct burial feeder for detached structures or outdoor circuits. It suits installs where a solid copper conductor and a UV- and moisture-resistant jacket are required.

Those who need low-voltage landscape wire, multi-conductor control cable, or smaller gauge building wiring for indoor branch circuits should look elsewhere; this product is specifically a 10 AWG direct burial UF-B cable intended for 600V feeder or branch uses rather than signal or audio applications.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid 10 AWG bare copper conductors provide excellent conductivity and lower resistive loss over distance.
• Robust PVC jacket rated for UV and moisture resists outdoor degradation and supports direct burial.
• Good temperature range keeps performance consistent in cold and hot climates.

Cons

• The solid conductor format is less flexible than stranded cable for frequent movement or very tight bends in finished indoor work.

Our Verdict

The 10/2 UF-B 100FT cable is a practical, cost-effective choice for outdoor feeder and burial applications where a solid copper conductor and a durable PVC jacket are priorities. Installers who need a weatherproof, 600V-rated run for lighting, detached equipment or feeders will find good value here, while projects requiring maximum flexibility or signal-grade wiring should consider alternate cable types.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this cable be buried directly in the ground?
Yes. The UF-B PVC jacket is designed for direct burial and use in wet locations when installed to code.

Is this wire suitable for 240V circuits?
Yes. With a 600V rating and 10 AWG conductors, it is appropriate for common residential 240V feeder and branch circuits within ampacity limits.

Will the solid copper conductors be hard to bend around corners?
The jacket is designed to be flexible, but solid conductors are inherently stiffer than stranded wire, so tight bends may be more difficult.
