10/2 Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Cable is a 2-conductor 10 AWG wire designed for 12V–15V AC outdoor lighting systems. It is primarily used as a heavy-duty main trunk wire to eliminate voltage drop over long distances when powering LED and incandescent path lights, spotlights, deck lights, and garden fixtures.

Yes! The cable features a heavy-duty integral PVC jacket engineered specifically for direct earth burial. It isolates the copper conductors from moisture, soil chemicals, and rot without needing protective conduit pipe.

Under National Electrical Code (NEC Article 411) guidelines for low-voltage lighting systems operating at 30V or less, landscape wire typically needs to be buried at least 6 inches deep in soil or mulch to protect it from lawn mowers, aerators, and gardening tools.

Due to its thick 10 AWG copper conductors, 10/2 landscape wire can comfortably handle main trunk runs up to 200+ feet (depending on total LED wattage load) while maintaining consistent voltage to the furthest fixtures on the line.

10/2 landscape cable features an integral flat parallel design where one conductor has smooth outer PVC and the other has raised surface ridges molded into the jacket. These ridges allow installers to easily identify and match positive/negative or hot/common legs across all fixtures.

This cable is rated for up to 150V AC under UL 1493 and 30V under c(UL) Low Voltage Landscape Lighting (LVLL) standards, making it safe and compliant for low-voltage outdoor lighting systems.
