What Customers Are Saying
The product is generally considered a good quality and functional wire, suitable for outdoor and underground wiring needs. Many customers appreciated the convenience of purchasing by the foot, though some found the thick insulation and flat shape challenging to work with. While the wire is reported to be reliable and durable, a few customers noted it was more expensive than expected. Overall, the product appears to be a suitable option, though extra effort may be required during installation compared to more flexible indoor wiring.

I checked my order, and I did order the correct wire (Reference Item #70408 Model #14783505). Now I have to use more time and gas to go back to the stor...
