12/2 NM-B, Non-Metallic, Sheathed Cable, Residential Indoor Wire, Used for Wiring Swiches, Outlets and Other Loads with Dry Applications (1000 FT Reel

#12 AWG Residential Wire for Outlets, Switches and Other Loads Copper (Cu) Conductors For Dry Locations up to 90 degrees Celsius or 194 degrees Farenheit. For Exposed and Concealed Applications. 600-Volt Maximum with an Allowable Ampacity of 20 Amps Equivalent to Romex NM-B - Color of Wire May not be the Same as the Picture Shown.

Applications:
Non-metallic sheathed NM-B cable is used in normally dry installations in residential wiring, as branch circuits for outlets, lighting and other residential loads. Its applications are outlined in NEC 2008 and NEC 2011 Article 334. NM-B is rated at 600 volts and although it is rated at a conductor temperature of 90°C dry , its ampacity is limited to 60°C according to the NEC 2008 and NEC 2011. It may be fished through masonry or tile walls, where not exposed or subject to excessive moisture or dampness. NM-B cables are LEAD FREE and RoHS compliant. Equivalent to Romex NM-B.
