Romex romex12/2w/grdmr Nm-b 12/2 Awg Branch Circuit Cable

Product Description

The ROMEX romex12/2w/grdmr is a 12 AWG, 2-conductor with ground, NM-B rated non-metallic sheathed branch circuit cable designed for residential and light commercial electrical branch circuit wiring. Conductors are solid copper with PVC insulation and a yellow PVC outer jacket. Rated at 20 amps and 600 volts with a temperature rating of 90 degrees C, this cable meets the performance requirements for standard 20-amp branch circuits. It is sold cut to length, making it suitable for job-site pulls where exact footage is needed. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers of this cable type.

This NM-B cable is used in dry, protected interior locations for residential branch circuit wiring, including outlets, lighting circuits, and appliance circuits rated at 20 amps. The yellow jacket color is the NEC-standard visual identifier for 12 AWG NM-B cable, helping electricians quickly identify conductor size during rough-in and inspection. Typical applications include kitchen, bathroom, and utility room circuits where a 20-amp rating is required by code.

Key Features

• 12 AWG solid copper conductors rated for 20-amp branch circuits
• 600-volt rating suitable for standard residential branch circuit applications
• 90 degrees C temperature rating for NM-B applications
• Yellow PVC outer jacket per NEC color convention for 12 AWG NM-B cable
• 2-conductor with ground configuration for grounded branch circuits
• Sold cut to length for flexible job-site ordering

Compatibility

Designed for use in dry, protected interior locations as an OEM-style NM-B branch circuit cable for residential and light commercial wiring applications where 12 AWG, 20-amp, 600-volt non-metallic sheathed cable is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage at the panel before making any connections. NM-B cable is approved only for dry, protected interior locations and must not be used in conduit, wet locations, or exposed exterior runs. Secure and support the cable per NEC spacing requirements and protect it from physical damage where it passes through framing.
