Southwire 28893602 8/2 NM-B Romex Cable, Copper, 125 Ft.

Southwire 8/2 NM-B Romex sheathed cable is a 125-foot continuous run of non-metallic building wire designed for residential and commercial branch circuit wiring. The cable features two 8 AWG solid copper conductors plus a dedicated ground wire, all enclosed in a durable PVC jacket rated at 75°C. This type NM-B cable is ideal for new wiring installations, replacements, and upgrades to outlets, lighting circuits, and appliances in single and multi-family dwellings not exceeding three floors above grade.

NM-B cable simplifies electrical projects by eliminating the need for multiple splices and connections. The integrated ground conductor meets code requirements for grounded installations. Copper conductors deliver superior conductivity and reduced voltage drop, ensuring reliable power delivery. The generous 125-foot length in a continuous coil reduces material waste and streamlines installation time.

Features and Benefits

• 8 AWG Solid Copper Conductors: Excellent electrical conductivity with high current-carrying capacity for reliable power distribution.
• Integrated Ground Wire: Third conductor included for grounding applications.
• Non-Metallic PVC Jacket: Durable outer insulation resists moisture and abrasion, suitable for exposed or concealed wiring, and can be fished through walls, ceilings, and masonry blocks.
• 125-Foot Continuous Coil: Ample length reduces splicing needs and speeds up installation for most residential branch circuits.
• Type THHN Inner Conductors: Rated at 90°C for safe use at amperage limited to 60°C per NEC Article 336.
