This is 10-gauge, 3-conductor non-metallic sheathed cable with a bare ground, rated 600V and 30 amps, in an orange jacket. It is the standard branch-circuit wire for dry indoor residential work: 30-amp circuits, dryers, ranges, water heaters and subpanel feeds where code allows. Three insulated conductors plus ground give it an edge over 10/2 for 240V circuits that need a neutral. Buyers rate it highly; the main trade-offs are stiffness in cold weather and the need to protect it where code requires conduit.

Buyers rate this wire 5 out of 5 across 84 ratings, praising its quality and value for residential wiring jobs. Complaints are rare and center on stiffness and handling rather than performance.
This is 10/3 with ground NM-B nonmetallic-sheathed copper building wire with an orange PVC jacket. It has three insulated conductors plus a bare ground wire. It is rated for 600 volts and 30 amps.
The conductors are solid bare annealed copper with PVC insulation. The cable is designed for easier pulling during installation. It can be used for exposed and concealed work in normally dry indoor locations at temperatures up to 90°C, with ampacity limited to that of 60°C conductors. It can also be run in air voids of masonry block or tile walls that are not wet or damp.
The two hot conductors allow 240V circuits or 120/240V circuits that need up to 30 amps. Typical uses include electric dryers, electric ranges and ovens, HVAC units, sub-panels and hot water heaters. It is also used in residential branch circuits for outlets, switches and lights, and for small appliances such as microwave ovens, dishwashers and garbage disposals.
