500-500-350 Triplex Aluminum Direct Burial Cable, Rider URD

"The industry-standard for high-amperage 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."

Why Electricians Choose Rider 500-500-350 Triplex Aluminum URD

The 500-500-350 Triplex Aluminum URD is the heavy-duty solution for high-capacity secondary underground power distribution. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of demanding service upgrades and large-scale site developments, it provides a stable, high-performance solution for moving substantial power from the transformer to the service entrance. 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, ensuring stability under heavy load conditions.

• Sunlight-Resistant XLP: Advanced cross-linked polyethylene insulation prevents premature aging caused by UV exposure, maintaining structural integrity at the service entrance.

• Easy-Identify Neutral: For faster installation and safer maintenance, the neutral conductor features three extruded yellow stripes and clear sequential footage markings.

• 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.
