8/2 NM-B Electrical Wire, 125 ft vs Southwire 8/2 NM-B Cable

These are the same cable on paper: 8/2 NM-B with ground, 125 ft, 40 A ampacity, 600 V, 90°C, 7-strand copper, PVC jacket. Southwire is the brand most electricians and inspectors know by name, and its NM-B is stocked everywhere, so it is the safer default when you want a known label and easy returns. The Sunco roll adds a SuperSlick Elite pull jacket that can make long runs through studs and boxes easier. Buy Southwire for the familiar brand and broad availability; buy Sunco if slick pulling matters on your run.

• Choose the Sunco 8/2 NM-B if you want a smoother-pulling jacket for long or tight runs and the specs otherwise match Southwire.
• Choose the Southwire 8/2 NM-B if you want the brand most electricians and inspectors recognize and the widest availability.
