Direct Burial Cable

Direct burial cables, commonly referred to in most industries as DBC, is a kind of communications or transmissions cable that has been designed to be used underground. What sets it apart from other common cables used in underground applications is that it can be buried underground without having to use extra coverings, sheathing, or piping for protection. The cables are simply run and covered. Most direct burial cables have a high tolerance and resilience against heat, moisture, shock, electrical conductivity, and soil acidity. DBC consists of multiple layers of metallic sheathing, rubber insulation, shock and impact absorbing gel, and insulation to help protect it from the elements. These cables are widely used in roadside applications and landscape applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before ordering direct burial cable, buyers should confirm the application, voltage rating, conductor size, number of conductors, burial conditions, moisture exposure, jacket material, and whether the cable will be installed directly in earth, in conduit, or in another underground pathway.

No. Outdoor-rated cable is not automatically suitable for direct burial. A cable may be designed for sunlight, weather, or moisture exposure, but underground installation requires a construction specifically approved for burial conditions.

Some direct burial cable is designed to be installed underground without conduit, but the correct installation depends on the cable type, electrical code, burial depth, soil conditions, mechanical protection needs, and project specifications.

The jacket helps protect the cable from moisture, abrasion, soil contact, and underground exposure. The wrong jacket material can shorten service life or make the cable unsuitable for the installation environment.

Direct burial cable may be used for underground power, service entrance, feeders, outdoor lighting, low-voltage communication, audio, control, utility, and industrial applications. The right cable depends on what the circuit carries and where it will be installed.
