UL Type THHN/THWN-2 Low-Voltage Power Single Conducto Copper 600 V cable
RHH and RHW-2:
RHH:
Very similar to RHW/RHW-2 cable. As mentioned above, the R stands for Rubber - but in this case the extra "H", or HH in RHH, stands for High Heat resistance of 90° C. The trade-off is that RHH cable does not possess the water resistance characteristic of RHW / RHW-2 cable.
Similarities: Both RHH and RHW / RHW-2 cable hold a 600 V rating. Both cables can be found in lighting, power systems and general wiring applications - depending on the location and environmental conditions.
RHW:
R = Rubber Insulation
A rubber outer layer that is very important when it comes to copper cables, especially when those cables are utilized in possible hazardous environments. Like XHHW and XHHW-2, RHW-2 wires are insulated by cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). Even though the "R" stands for rubber, it also incorporates other neoprene insulations that XLPE falls under.
H = Heat Resistance of 75° C
Cables must be able to withstand the elements. The insulation's length and width determine its heat resistance. The thinner the XPLE insulation, the less resistant it is to heat.
W = Water Resistance
Possibly the most important factor when considering the environment of your wire. The "W" means the cables can be submerged in water if needed. Even though the wire has a rubber outer layer and is acceptable for use in damp environments, the "W" designation is required for use in the presence of water and other liquids.
