Maybe. Depends of what type of insulation the cable has.
Examples:
UF-yes
THWN-yes
USE-no
USE/RHW-yes
URD-no.
What cable are you using and where?
And why is this question in hazardous locations? Need more info/details to answer correctly.

Looking at it another way, the fact that it is wet rated does not by itself prevent it from being used in a dry area outdoors. But there are separate properties, like flame spread, that may prevent it from being used indoors, whether the indoor area is wet or dry.
