"The industry-standard for secondary three-phase residential, farm, and commercial power distribution. Engineered for reliable 600V delivery, this cable is rated for both direct burial and duct installations, featuring sunlight-resistant XLP insulation for robust, long-term underground performance."
The Dyke 2-2-2-4 URD cable is the preferred solution for secondary underground three-phase power distribution in 100-Amp applications. Specifically designed for projects requiring three phase conductors and a neutral, it provides a stable, high-performance solution for individual apartment unit feeds, light commercial services, and agricultural sub-panels. By utilizing high-conductivity 1350-H19 aluminum and a heavy-duty, sunlight-resistant XLP insulation, it offers superior resistance to environmental degradation, moisture ingress, and thermal stress.
600V Reliability: Rated for continuous operation in wet or dry locations at temperatures up to 90°C, providing dependable power for 100-Amp 3-phase equipment.
Sunlight-Resistant XLP: Advanced cross-linked polyethylene insulation prevents premature aging caused by UV exposure at termination points and service entrances.
Easy-Identify Neutral: For faster installation and safer maintenance, the neutral conductor features three extruded yellow stripes.
Direct Burial Ready: Specifically built for the harsh conditions of underground utility distribution; can be installed directly in the earth or within conduit/duct systems.

URD stands for Underground Residential Distribution. This is a specific classification of electrical cable designed to carry power from utility transformers to secondary service entrances (like your home or a commercial sub-panel). Because the Dyke #2 is a URD cable, it is engineered with rugged XLP insulation that allows it to be buried directly in the earth without the need for a protective conduit. While it has "Residential" in the name, it is the industry standard for underground power in commercial, agricultural, and industrial applications as well.
Yes. Despite having "Residential" in the name, URD is the industry standard for secondary power distribution in commercial, agricultural, and industrial settings as well. Whether you are powering a detached barn, a commercial workshop, or an apartment complex, URD is the preferred choice for any 600V underground run.
Yes. Dyke is a Type USE-2 cable, meaning it is specifically engineered for direct burial. Its Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation is rugged enough to withstand moisture and soil chemicals without the need for conduit, though we recommend considering conduit for any portion of the run that is exposed above ground.
The ampacity of the 2-2-2-4 Dyke is perfectly suited for standard residential and light commercial loads:
The difference is the fourth conductor. Triplex is designed for single-phase power (common in houses), while Dyke Quadruplex includes three phase conductors and one neutral. This allows it to deliver three-phase power, which is required for commercial buildings, apartment complexes, and shops with 3-phase machinery.
The outside diameter (OD) of our #2-2-2-4 Dyke Quadruplex is approximately 0.97 inches (24.64 mm).
Important: Always verify your specific plan with a licensed electrical installer and refer to an official NEC conduit fill chart. The number of bends and the total length of the run are the primary factors in choosing the right pipe size.
Unlike standard interior wiring (like NM-B or THHN) or above-ground service cables (like SEU or SER), URD is built specifically for life in a trench. Its key features include:
We stock a comprehensive range of URD cable configurations to meet residential, farm, and commercial power needs. This includes , Erskine (6-6-6), Vassar (4-4-4), Stephens (2-2-4), Brenau (1/0-1/0-2), Converse (2/0-2/0-1/0), and Sweetbriar (4/0-4/0-2/0). You can browse our complete inventory and view detailed specifications for each gauge in our Full Aluminum URD Collection here.
Aluminum URD is the industry standard for underground utility feeds because it is significantly more cost-effective and lighter than copper.
