Southwire Romex 12/2 NMB Cable 50ft for Indoor Use

For electrical wiring in homes, farm buildings, stores, and shops, Southwire’s Romex Brand SIMpull NM-B (nonmetallic-sheathed) cable serves as a reliable option. This type of cable can be employed for both exposed and concealed applications in typically dry locations, provided that the temperatures do not exceed 90°C. However, it is crucial to keep in mind that the ampacity must be restricted to that of 60°C conductors, as stipulated by the 2011 National Electrical Code.

Primarily designed for residential wiring, NM-B cable is used as a branch circuit for powering outlets, switches, and various other loads. Additionally, it is suitable for installation in air voids within masonry block or tile walls, provided these surfaces are not damp or wet. The voltage rating for NM-B cable is 600 volts, ensuring safe implementation in typical residential settings.

Despite its advantages, NM-B cable is both flame and moisture resistant, yet should not be utilized in wet locations. This versatile cable type can be employed in dry environments, whether for exposed setups or hidden installations. The temperature limit for conductors is capped at 90°C, while the ampacity remains contingent upon regulations for 60°C conductors.

One of the standout features of Romex Type NM-B is its patented SIMpull Cable Jacket, designed to simplify the process of pulling, stripping, and installing the cable. This innovation significantly enhances the efficiency of installation, making it favored among electricians and contractors.

When considering its use, it is important to remember that NM-B cable should only be installed above the ground and solely in dry environments. Due to its flexible structure and ease of handling, this cable type has become a go-to solution for residential building wiring, particularly for branch circuits linked to outlets and switches.

In conclusion, Southwire's Romex Brand SIMpull NM-B cable is an excellent choice for various wiring applications in both residential and commercial settings, as long as the installation conditions are respected. Always ensure compliance with local codes and safety standards when working with electrical wiring to guarantee a secure and efficient installation.
