Southwire/coleman Cable 28828221 Nm-b Cable 12/2 25 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 28828221 is a 25-foot cut length of 12/2 NM-B (non-metallic sheathed) cable with ground. It carries two 12 AWG current-carrying conductors plus a bare copper ground, all enclosed in a PVC outer jacket rated for 90 degrees C dry locations. This cable is the standard choice for branch-circuit wiring in residential and light commercial construction. Licensed electricians install it for general-purpose 20-amp circuits including outlets, lighting, and small appliances. The copper conductors provide reliable conductivity, and the NM-B rating meets code requirements for concealed runs inside conditioned spaces.

This 12/2 NM-B cable is suited for residential branch circuit wiring where a 20-amp circuit is required. Typical applications include wiring receptacle outlets, lighting circuits, and appliance feeds in wood-framed construction. The 25-foot cut length is practical for individual circuit runs, rough-in work, or repair and retrofit jobs where a full roll is not needed. It is intended for dry, indoor use in concealed locations such as inside walls, ceilings, and floors.

Key Features

• 12/2 configuration with bare copper ground conductor
• 90 degrees C temperature rating for dry locations
• Copper conductors for optimal conductivity and code compliance
• NM-B sheathing suitable for concealed residential wiring
• 25-foot cut length reduces waste on smaller jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NM-B replacement and new-installation cable for 20-amp, 120-volt branch circuits in residential and light commercial wiring applications where NEC permits non-metallic sheathed cable.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always de-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage at the panel before making any connections. NM-B cable is approved for dry, concealed locations only and must not be used in wet, damp, or exposed outdoor environments. Secure and protect cable runs per NEC stapling and protection requirements to prevent physical damage.
