Got Questions? THHN Building Wire Rating, SOOW Portable Cord Sizes &Tray Cable Conductors

Its been quite busy over here at Wire And Cable Your Way and I have been getting to know some really interesting & unique customers from all across the country.

People are sending in questions all day long and I'd thought it would be nice to share a few common questions received...

Hey Willie, I am shopping for wire to wire up a new garage.  I am looking at your 4-4-4 Aluminum Underground Distribution Cable and wondering if it can it be direct buried, or must I use conduit? - Bill
