Remee Wire & Cable Introduces Its New Line of VoltGuard600™ Power Cables for Building Wire Applications

Florida, NY – Remee Wire & Cable, a leading manufacturer of electronic and electrical wire and cable, announced the launch of their new VoltGuard600™ series, offering a popular selection of building wire used for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. This new line has been designed to carry electricity safely through branch circuits, feeders, and service entrances, among other applications.  Remee provides a distinctive advantage by combining multiple UL types in a single cable, allowing it to be used in both wet and dry applications.

Remee’s VoltGuard600™ products cover all UL listings for all voltages and installation environments, including UL 83, UL 1581, UL 44, UL 854, CSA C22.2 No. 38, C(UL), and NEC NFPA 70. VoltGuard600™ cables feature copper conductors, insulated or jacketed with materials like PVC, XLPE, and nylon. They are rated at 600 volts (many up to 1kV) with specific temperature ratings, generally -40°C to 90°C dry or wet.

VoltGuard600™ cables are usually installed in conduit, raceways, or cable trays, however some can be direct buried or used for underground service entrances.

The VoltGuard600™ line of building wire includes:

• XHHW-2 – with XLPE insulation; rated 600V/1kV, handles -40°C to +90°C wet or dry; flame, moisture, and sunlight resistant; typical Installations include conduit, cable trays, and outdoor feeders for commercial/industrial buildings.
• RHH/RHW-2/USE-2 – with XLPE insulation, rated 600V/1kV, handles -40°C to +90°C wet or dry; flame, abrasion, sunlight, and moisture resistant; ideal for indoor dry locations requiring extra mechanical and flame protection or for outdoor or underground feeders where cables face moisture, sunlight, or burial conditions; typical installations include service entrance conductors, feeders, and branch circuits inside buildings, in conduit, raceways, ducts, in dry or wet locations.
• THWN-2/THHN – with PVC insulation and nylon jacket, rated 600V, -40°C to +90°C dry or wet; thinner insulation than XLPE wire, good abrasion, chemical, and sunlight resistance from nylon jacket; a versatile general-purpose indoor/outdoor wire, ideally suited when the same wire may encounter both wet and dry conditions; typical installations include residential and commercial branch circuits, control wiring, feeder runs, branch circuits, and service entrances in both dry and damp/wet locations.
• Copper Ground Wire – VoltGuard600™ ground wire features bare copper and tinned copper conductors, solid or stranded, with insulation options.

VoltGuard600™ by Remee covers all UL listings for all voltages and installation environments. By combining several UL types, VoltGuard600™ cables provide maximum flexibility and versatility by having both wet and dry ratings.

Tom Valentine, Executive Vice President Sales & Marketing for Remee Wire and Cable, stated “Remee has developed this complete line of electrical building wire to provide maximum application flexibility with a single cable for the convenience of our electrical contractor, consulting engineer, and installer customers. We are excited to add these cables to our extensive line of electrical and electronic wire and cable offerings.”
