10 AWG RWU90 Copper Stranded 1000 V Red 300 m (984 ft) · Consolidated Cable Centre 10RWU90R-300

What this product is for

This 10 AWG RWU90 copper building wire is used for feeders, branch circuits, and general power wiring in wet or dry locations, including outdoor installations where a 1000 V RWU90 conductor is specified. The red insulation helps with phase or circuit identification in panels, raceways, and equipment wiring.

Use for

Use for conduit and raceway wiring, outdoor runs, and installations exposed to weather where RWU90 conductors are accepted. Commonly used by electricians for commercial, industrial, and residential service work requiring a single insulated copper conductor on a 300 m (984 ft) reel.

Avoid for

Avoid using this product where a multi-conductor cable assembly is required, where flexible cord is needed, or where the installation method does not permit single-conductor RWU90 wire. Confirm suitability with the equipment rating, local code, and authority having jurisdiction.

Best for

Best for contractors who need a red 10 AWG copper RWU90 conductor for longer pulls, outdoor raceway work, and standard stock reel quantities. Stranded construction is typically preferred over solid for easier pulling and handling on longer conduit runs.

Installed in

Typically installed in conduit, raceways, service equipment, distribution equipment, and outdoor electrical systems in Canadian residential, commercial, and light industrial projects.

Why this product exists

RWU90 wire provides a 90 deg C insulated single-conductor option for wet or dry locations with a 1000 V rating and outdoor suitability. The 300 m (984 ft) reel format supports jobsite efficiency by reducing splices and simplifying material handling for longer runs.

Compared with similar products

Compared with RW90, RWU90 is commonly selected where wet-location or outdoor exposure capability is required. Compared with solid 10 AWG conductors, stranded 10 AWG is typically easier to pull and terminate on longer runs, though final selection depends on device compatibility and installation method.
