2 AWG 3-Conductor Shielded EPR/PVC MV-105 Cable – 5 kV / 8 kV

This 2 AWG 3-conductor MV-105 power cable is designed for medium-voltage power circuits up to 5 kV (133%) and 8 kV (100%) in industrial, utility, and commercial power distribution systems. The cable features EPR insulation, copper tape shielding, and a PVC outer jacket, delivering reliable electrical performance and long service life in demanding environments.

The 2 AWG stranded copper conductors provide a balance of ampacity, flexibility, and ease of installation, making this cable suitable for installation in open air, conduit, duct systems, or direct burial. It is approved for use in wet and dry locations and commonly specified for medium-voltage feeders where dependable performance and code compliance are required.
