Is 14/2 NM-B the right wire for outlets?

Yes, for 15-amp circuits feeding lights and standard outlets. Use 12/2 if the circuit is on a 20-amp breaker.

Can this cable be used outdoors or underground?

No. NM-B is for dry, indoor locations. Use UF cable for buried or wet runs.

How many amps does 14 AWG carry?

14 AWG copper is rated for 15-amp circuits under the NEC. Keep the breaker at 15A.

What is included in the 50 ft coil?

Two insulated conductors plus a bare ground wire, 50 feet total, in a white PVC jacket.

When is the best time to buy a longer coil?

Per-foot pricing drops on the 250, 500 and 1,000 ft coils, so buy the longer size when the run is known.

Our take on the Energeaster Solid Indoor 14/2 W/G NMB Cable 50ft Coil

Energeaster's 14/2 with ground NM-B is solid-core copper branch-circuit cable in a white PVC jacket, rated 600V and UL listed to Standard 83. It is the standard wire for 15-amp residential circuits: lighting, outlets, and small appliances like microwaves and dishwashers. The listing's 50 ft coil is the short-run size; longer 250, 500 and 1,000 ft coils are also offered at reduced per-foot pricing. No price was provided for this coil, so compare per-foot cost against other 14/2 NM-B before buying.
