Type UF cable is allowed in which type of environments?

Type UF (Underground Feeder) cable is specifically designed for direct burial and is suitable for use in high-temperature environments. This type of cable is constructed with durable materials that can withstand varying temperatures and conditions found underground. It remains a reliable choice for applications where exposure to elements is a concern, such as in outdoor installations.

While Type UF cable is also rated for dry locations, it is particularly valuable in areas where heat exposure might occur, such as attics or near heat sources. However, it is not rated for use in wet environments like other types of cables that are specifically engineered for moisture exposure. Its construction primarily allows for enhanced performance in conditions that involve a greater level of thermal stress, making it ideal for scenarios where temperatures can fluctuate significantly.
