## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this 50' cable actually have the electrical wires inside? I saw a 100' cable like this 50' one. The 100' has no wires. Does this 50' have wires?**
A: The package I got has wires. Current is flowing through them daily.

**Q: What size conduit fitting is needed? 1/2" or 3/8" or other?**
A: 3/8” fittings

**Q: Does it have 3 wires? Black, white and ground?**
A: Yes, the 12/2 wire has black, white and copper ground.

**Q: can this be burried underground? and if so how deep ?**
A: I wouldn't bury it. If you need to bury it use romex with the gray jacket. I usually use gray PVC at a foot deep and pull wire thru it.
