Romex 28828201 Nm-b Wire 12/2 Solid 600V 1000 Ft

Product Description

The ROMEX 28828201 is a Type NM-B nonmetallic-sheathed cable designed for branch circuit wiring in residential and commercial construction. The cable is built with 12 AWG solid conductors at a 2-wire-with-ground configuration, rated for service up to 600 volts. The outer jacket is PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and each conductor carries PVC insulation with an additional nylon jacket for added mechanical protection. The yellow jacket color identifies this as 12 AWG per standard color-coding convention. This cable is flame-retardant and crush-resistant, and it is UL listed. Electricians use this cable for standard 20-amp branch circuits in dry, above-ground installations.

This cable is suited for above-ground, dry-location wiring applications only. Typical uses include general-purpose branch circuits in residential construction, light commercial interiors, and similar occupancies where NM-B cable is permitted by the authority having jurisdiction. It is sold in a 1000-foot roll, making it well suited for new construction rough-in work or larger remodel projects. Installation must comply with NEC requirements for NM-B cable, including permitted uses, derating, and securing intervals.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and all applicable local codes. This cable is approved for dry, above-ground locations only and must not be installed in wet, damp, or underground environments. Always de-energize the circuit and verify with a voltage tester before making connections. Secure and support the cable at intervals required by code, and protect it from physical damage where exposed.
