This Romex NM-B cable is a non-metallic sheathed cable for residential electrical wiring. It serves as a branch circuit for loads such as outlets and switches. It can be used in exposed and concealed installations in dry locations. It can also be routed through air voids in masonry block or tile walls, as long as those areas stay dry.
The cable has two 6 AWG copper conductors plus a bare copper ground wire. The conductors have PVC insulation with a nylon sheath, and the outer jacket is PVC. The jacket uses SIMpull technology to make installation easier.
The cable is rated for 600 volts and 90 degrees Celsius. Its current rating is 55 amps.
