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

The 213-146ST/DB/5BK is an LED cable for underground landscape lighting, indoor/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 indoor/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: The 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 tape layer protects conductors and improves 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.
