This is a 10-foot length of 8/3 NM-B non-metallic sheathed cable with ground, made with pure copper conductors. It has four conductors: three 8 AWG current-carrying wires and one 10 AWG ground wire. The ground wire is wrapped in kraft paper.
Each conductor has inner PVC insulation, and a tough nylon outer jacket protects against abrasion and chemicals. The cable is rated for 600V and for operating temperatures up to 90°C. It can be installed in temperatures down to -10°C.
Type NM-B cable is used for residential branch circuit wiring in 120/240V home power systems. It connects outlets, switches, lighting and other loads in dry or damp locations, such as inside walls and attics. It is not for direct burial or exposed outdoor use. The cable is made in compliance with RoHS directives.
