VERTICAL CABLE 213-146ST/DB/5BK – LED DIRECT BURIAL CABLE

The 213-146ST/DB/5BK is an LED cable designed for underground landscape lighting, outdoor LED strips, and direct burial lighting installations. This LED cable features six 14 AWG stranded bare copper conductors with color-coded PVC insulation, non-woven wrapping tape, and a durable black PVC jacket rated for direct burial. ETL-Listed and resistant to water, sunlight, and soil conditions, this LED cable delivers reliable underground power distribution for outdoor lighting applications.

KEY FEATURES

Here’s what makes the 213-146ST/DB/5BK ideal for direct burial LED and outdoor lighting installations:

14 AWG Stranded Bare Copper: Six stranded conductors (41 × 0.254 mm stranding) provide flexibility and excellent current-carrying capacity.
6-Conductor Configuration: Supports multi-zone lighting control, RGB+W LED strips, and complex outdoor lighting layouts.
Direct Burial Rated: Designed for underground installation without conduit in landscape and outdoor applications.
Water and Soil Resistant: Jacket and construction withstand moisture, soil contact, and underground conditions.
UV/Sunlight Resistant: Rated for exposure to sunlight during above-ground transitions and outdoor routing.
Non-Woven Wrapping Tape: An additional layer of tape protects conductors and enhances moisture resistance.
Color-Coded Conductors: Black, blue, green, red, yellow, and white insulation for easy circuit identification.
Durable PVC Jacket: Black PVC jacket provides robust protection against physical damage and environmental exposure.
Integrated Ripcord: Easy jacket removal for efficient termination.
Wide Temperature Range: Rated for operation from -20°C to +75°C.
300V Voltage Rating: Adequate for low-voltage LED lighting and control applications.
Low DC Resistance: ≤8.6 Ω/km ensures minimal voltage drop over long underground cable runs.
ETL-Listed and RoHS Compliant: Third-party verified for safety and environmental compliance.
500 ft Spool: Professional spool packaging for efficient installation on larger outdoor projects.

APPLICATIONS

The 213-146ST/DB/5BK LED cable excels in underground and outdoor lighting installations:

Landscape Lighting: Bury cable runs directly to pathway lights, garden fixtures, and accent lighting throughout outdoor spaces.
Deck and Patio Lighting: Install underground power runs to low-voltage lighting in outdoor living areas.
LED Strip Lighting: Connect outdoor RGB, RGBW, and multi-color LED strip installations with buried cable runs.
Architectural Lighting: Power building façades, hardscapes, and decorative outdoor lighting with direct burial cable.
Signage Lighting: Install underground power to illuminated signs, monument lighting, and display fixtures.
Security Lighting: Connect perimeter and security lighting systems with protected underground cable runs.

WHY CHOOSE THE 213-146ST/DB/5BK LED CABLE?

Professionals choose the 213-146ST/DB/5BK for its reliable underground power distribution, multi-conductor flexibility, and robust direct-burial construction. Here are 5 reasons to specify it for your next project:

True Direct Burial – Rated for underground installation without conduit, simplifying landscape lighting installations and reducing labor costs.
Multi-Conductor Flexibility – Six color-coded conductors support complex lighting layouts, RGB+W strips, and multi-zone control in a single buried cable run.
Heavy-Gauge Conductors – 14 AWG stranded copper minimizes voltage drop over long underground distances for consistent LED brightness.
Environmental Protection – Water, soil, and UV-resistant construction ensures long-term reliability in harsh outdoor conditions.
Verified Quality – ETL-Listed for safety assurance in residential and commercial outdoor lighting installations.

WHAT’S NEXT

Once you’ve specified the 213-146ST/DB/5BK for your project:

Plan Burial Depth – Follow local codes for minimum burial depth; typically 6–12 inches for low-voltage landscape lighting cable.
Calculate Voltage Drop – Verify wire gauge is adequate for run length and total wattage to maintain consistent LED brightness.
Plan Conductor Assignments – Map out which conductor colors will carry power, ground, and control signals before burial.
Use Direct Burial Splices – Protect underground connections with gel-filled or resin-filled direct burial splice kits.
