10/2 UF-B Wire 100FT 100% Pure Copper 10AWG - Direct Burial Cable

Our review of the 10/2 UF-B Wire 100FT focuses on installers and DIYers who need a robust, direct-burial cable for outdoor or underground circuits. The bottom line: this 10AWG/2 cable with a 10AWG ground stands out for straightforward installation and long-term durability in wet or corrosive sites, making it a smart choice when you want to avoid conduit and reduce labor and material costs. It is particularly useful where flexibility, ease of stripping, and a waterproof PVC jacket are priorities.

Key Features

• 10AWG/2 with Ground: Provides a full 10 gauge hot, neutral and a 10AWG grounding conductor for reliable 600V-rated circuits.
• Direct burial design: Engineered to be buried without conduit, saving time and lowering piping and installation expenses.
• Wide temperature range: Rated to operate from -10C to 105C so it remains stable in freezing winters and hot underground conditions.
• PVC jacket protection: A waterproof and sunproof outer jacket resists moisture, UV and mechanical wear for outdoor longevity.
• RoHS compliant: Free from hazardous substances, which is helpful for installations that require environmental safety compliance.

Who It's For

This cable is aimed at electricians, landscape lighting contractors, and homeowners installing outdoor outlets, feeder runs, or solar ground-mount systems that require a durable, direct-burial solution. It fits projects where avoiding conduit is desirable to cut cost and speed up installation.

It is not intended for applications that require stranded conductors for high-flexibility portable cords; customers who need frequently flexed cable or specialized conduit-run cable should consider alternate constructions designed specifically for constant motion.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid 100% pure copper conductors give consistent conductivity and good electrical performance.
• Direct burial rating and waterproof PVC jacket remove the need for conduit in most underground runs.
• Flexible enough for burial bends and easy to strip, making installation quicker for DIYers and pros.
• Wide operating temperature range supports reliable use in harsh environments.

Cons

• Conductors are not stranded, so the cable is less suited where repeated flexing is required.
• Length is fixed at 100ft per spool, so longer runs require splicing or multiple purchases.
