This is 12-gauge, two-conductor non-metallic sheathed cable with a bare ground, rated 600V and 20 amps. It is the standard wire for 20-amp residential branch circuits feeding outlets and switches, run through studs, joists and air voids in dry indoor spaces. The solid copper conductors hold their shape in boxes and take device screws cleanly, which is why electricians favor solid over stranded for rough-in. It is the same NM-B cable sold under the Romex name, so it competes on copper quality and jacket consistency rather than features.

Rated highly by buyers, who treat it as dependable everyday branch-circuit wire. Complaints center on stiffness and jacket handling rather than performance.
This is 12/2 with ground NM-B non-metallic sheathed copper building wire with a yellow PVC jacket. It has two insulated 12 AWG conductors and a bare ground wire. It is rated for 600 volts and carries 120V or 240V circuits at up to 20 amps.
The conductors are solid, soft annealed bare copper. Each is insulated with PVC, and the cable is designed for easier pulling during installation.
It is used for dry indoor wiring, including residential branch circuits for lights, switches and outlets. It also suits small appliances such as microwave ovens, dishwashers and garbage disposals, as well as HVAC and bathroom circuits. It can be used in air voids in tile walls. Temperatures should not exceed 90 °C. NM-B applications are specified in Article 334 of the NEC.
