Southwire 185 NMC2 Cable Staples Bucket

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 185 is a bulk bucket of NMC2 cable staples designed to secure non-metallic sheathed cable to framing, joists, and other structural members during rough-in electrical work. These staples are a standard fastening solution for residential and light commercial wiring installations. The bucket format provides a high-count supply suited to production wiring jobs where frequent reloading of a staple gun or hand driver would slow progress. Electricians and wiring crews rely on this format to maintain pace on larger projects without interruption.

NMC2 cable staples are used across residential new construction and renovation projects wherever NM-B or NMC cable must be anchored to wood framing, studs, or subflooring. The bucket packaging is practical on active job sites, offering easy access and stable storage. This product is appropriate for use by licensed electricians and apprentices performing rough-in wiring tasks in compliance with NEC requirements for cable support and securing intervals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC guidelines for cable support spacing and securing methods. Power down the circuit and verify with a non-contact voltage tester before working in any energized area. Use the appropriate staple driver or hammer-type staple tool to avoid damaging cable insulation during fastening. Do not over-drive staples in a way that compresses or deforms the cable sheath.
