10/2 NM-B Romex Cable, 250 ft vs Southwire 10/2 NM-B Romex Wire 100 ft
Both are 10 AWG two-conductor NM-B copper cable with a ground, rated 600 V, so the electrical performance is the same. The real split is length and jacket: the 250 ft coil suits a whole circuit run in one pull, while the Southwire 100 ft reel is easier to handle and its SIMpull jacket pulls through framing with less friction. Buy the 250 ft coil for long runs and the Southwire for short runs or tight spaces.
- Choose the 250 ft coil if you are wiring a long circuit run and want one continuous length without splices.
- Choose the Southwire 100 ft if you want a manageable reel with a slicker jacket for shorter runs and easier pulling.
