| Applications | ApplicationSouthwireî Romexî Brand SIMpullî NM-B (nonmetallic-sheathed) cable may be used for both exposed and concealed work in normally dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90ðC (with ampacity limited to that for 60ðC conductors) as specified in the National Electrical Code. NM-B cable is primarily used in residential wiring as branch circuits for outlets, switches, and other loads. NM-B cable may be run in air voids of masonry block or tile walls where such walls are not wet or damp locations. Voltage rating for NM-B cable is 600 volts. |
| Construction | ConstructionSouthwire Romexî Brand SIMpullî NM-B cable is manufactured as 2, 3, or 4 conductor cable, with a bare ground wire. Copper conductors are annealed (soft)copper. Stranded conductors are compressed stranded. Conductor insulation is 90ðC-rated polyvinyl chloride (PVC), nylon jacketed. Romexî Brand SIMpullî NM-B cable is designed for easier pulling, resulting in easier installation. The cable jacket is color-coded for quick size identification; White - 14 AWG, Yellow - 12 AWG, Orange - 10 AWG, and Black - 8 AWG and 6 AWG. |
