NMWU Wire Meaning

NMWU wire stands for Nonmetallic Moisture-resistant Wet Underground cable. It is a type of nonmetallic-sheathed electrical cable designed for outdoor and direct burial applications. The tough PVC jacket makes it highly resistant to moisture, sunlight, and soil conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance in wet or underground environments.
