USE-2 dimensions
Nominal calculation, not one manufacturer's datasheet. The conductor is NEC Chapter 9 Table 8; the insulation and nylon walls are the nominal values the makers catalogue, because UL 83, UL 44 and UL 854 were not read. A wire of the same name can differ slightly: check its datasheet before you specify or order.
Each row is one USE-2 size in copper at 600 V: the conductor from NEC Table 8, the walls as the makers catalogue them. Open a row for every layer and its source. What USE-2 means, letter by letter.
