This is a 50 ft length of NM-B non-metallic electrical cable with three conductors and a ground, in 6 AWG. It has a high-purity copper core for power transmission. Each conductor has its own insulation to help prevent short circuits.
The outer sheath is thick PVC, which protects the wires inside from damage. The PVC is designed to be flame-retardant: it is difficult to ignite or will self-extinguish when exposed to fire, which helps keep flames from spreading.
The cable is flexible and has good tensile strength, so it can be stretched and bent during installation without damage. It is used for wiring outlets, switches, lighting and other loads in residential, commercial and industrial settings.
