Southwire 28829022 10/2 NM-B Wire vs Romex 10/2 NM-B Cable 250 ft

Both are 10/2 NM-B copper cable with ground, 600 V rated, for dry indoor branch circuits. The real difference is length and packaging: Southwire sells a 50 ft coil with its SIMpull jacket, while the National Brand Alternative roll is 250 ft. Southwire is the better-known name with a large review base and a jacket that pulls and strips more easily; the 250 ft roll wins when the run is long or you want one continuous piece. Buy the 50 ft Southwire for a single circuit, the 250 ft roll for a whole-room or multi-circuit job.

• Choose the Southwire 50 ft if you are wiring one circuit and want the easier-pulling SIMpull jacket from a brand with a long track record.
• Choose the National Brand Alternative 250 ft roll if your run is long or you are pulling several circuits and want one continuous length.
