This is a 250 ft roll of 10/2 NM-B nonmetallic-sheathed copper cable, also known as Romex. It is used for residential wiring as branch circuits for outlets, switches and other loads. It can be used for both exposed and concealed work in normally dry locations.
The conductor is annealed (soft) copper, which is flexible, highly conductive and corrosion-resistant. The conductor insulation is PVC rated to 194°F. A nylon jacket resists chemicals, moisture and abrasion. The cable is also coated with a SIMpull jacket, which makes pulling, stripping and installing easier.
The 10/2 AWG designation means 10-gauge wire with 2 conductors and 1 ground wire. The larger the AWG number, the smaller the wire. The jacket is orange for quick identification.
