Long home runs from the transformer to the first group of fixtures are where low voltage systems lose the most voltage. The CLS LLC10100 is a 100 foot roll of 10/2 direct burial cable with solid copper conductors and flame retardant PVC insulation in matte black.
When is 10 gauge worth it over 12 gauge?
Heavier conductors lose less voltage over distance. Step up to 10/2 when a run is long, when it carries a high total wattage, or when the farthest fixtures are reading noticeably dimmer than the nearest ones. The 10 gauge size gives you more room before you need to move up a tap on the transformer.
Is a 100 foot roll enough?
A 100 foot roll suits a single home run or a smaller residential project. For multiple long runs or commercial jobs, the 500 foot roll of the same cable saves splicing between partial spools.
Can it go straight in the ground?
Yes. CLS rates it for outdoor use and direct burial, with insulation that resists UV and moisture, and it works with standard low voltage landscape components.
