10 RW90 Copper · 600 V XLPE Insulation · Black Stranded - Per Metre

What this product is for

This 10 AWG RW90 copper building wire is used for 600 V power distribution, branch circuits, and service entrance wiring in commercial, industrial, and residential work where CSA RW90 conductors are specified. The black XLPE insulation is suited to dry or wet locations and installations in raceways where permitted by code.

Use for

• Branch circuit wiring in conduit or raceway
• Service entrance and feeder conductors where RW90 is specified
• Dry or wet location installations
• Panel, equipment, and general building wire applications

Avoid for

• Applications requiring a jacketed multi-conductor cable instead of a single conductor
• Installations in cable troughs or ventilated flexible cableways where the product listing does not permit it
• Vault and switchroom installations where non-jacketed RW90 is restricted by code conditions

Best for

Electricians and contractors needing a 10 AWG copper RW90 conductor for conduit runs, equipment feeds, and standard 600 V building wire applications in Canada.

Installed in

Conduit systems, raceways, service entrance assemblies, and exposed wiring locations subject to the Canadian Electrical Code and the product's certification and installation limitations.

Why this product exists

RW90 wire provides a single-conductor copper option with XLPE insulation for higher temperature building wire applications compared with basic thermoplastic building wire types. It is selected where installers need a 600 V conductor with wet and dry location suitability and CSA RW90 compliance.

Compared with similar products

Compared with NMD90 cable, RW90 is a single conductor intended for conduit and raceway systems rather than a sheathed cable assembly. Compared with lower-temperature building wire types, RW90 uses XLPE insulation and is commonly chosen where 90 degC conductor rating is required, subject to equipment termination limits. As a rule of thumb, 10 AWG copper is commonly used on 30A circuits, but final conductor sizing must follow code, ambient conditions, conduit fill, and termination ratings.

Actual performance depends on installation conditions, insulation, layout, and local electrical code.
