Our take on the Southwire 50 ft. 6/2 Stranded Romex SIMpull CU NM-B W/G

Southwire Romex SIMpull 6/2 is a 50-foot roll of 6-gauge, two-conductor non-metallic sheathed cable with a bare ground, rated 600V and 55 amps. The SIMpull jacket is formulated to slide through studs and conduit with less pulling effort than older NM-B jackets, and the copper conductors are stranded for easier bending in tight runs. It suits 60-amp and 55-amp branch circuits such as ranges, subpanels and EV chargers run indoors through walls, ceilings and crawlspaces. It is not rated for direct burial or wet locations, so outdoor and underground runs need UF cable or conduit instead.

Pros
  • 6-gauge copper handles 55 amps at 60°C
  • Stranded conductors bend and pull more easily than solid 6 AWG
  • SIMpull jacket reduces friction on long pulls
  • UL listed, RoHS compliant, 600V rated
  • Bare ground included in the same sheath
Cons
  • Not rated for direct burial or wet locations
  • Stranded 6 AWG is harder to terminate on some lugs than solid
  • Only two conductors plus ground, so no neutral for 120/240 split loads
  • Stiffer and heavier than 8 or 10 gauge cable

What reviewers say

Electricians and serious DIYers generally rate Romex SIMpull highly for pulling ease and jacket toughness, and the 6/2 size is a common pick for range and subpanel feeds. Complaints center on stiffness in cold weather and the effort of terminating stranded 6-gauge wire.

What people mention
  • Pull easePraisedOwners say the SIMpull jacket feeds through studs and conduit with noticeably less friction than older NM-B.
  • StiffnessCriticisedReviewers note the cable is stiff, especially in cold weather, and awkward to route around tight corners.
  • TerminationsMixedStranded 6-gauge copper bends easily but takes more care to seat cleanly under breaker lugs than solid wire.
  • Build qualityPraisedBuyers report the jacket is tough and the copper is true to gauge with clean stripping.

Questions and answers

What can 6/2 NM-B cable be used for?
It is for indoor branch circuits and feeders up to 55 amps at 60°C, such as electric ranges, subpanels and EV chargers. It has two insulated conductors plus a bare ground, so it cannot supply a 120/240V load that needs a neutral.
Can this cable be buried or used outdoors?
No. NM-B is not rated for direct burial or wet locations. Use UF cable or conduit for underground and exterior runs.
Is 6/2 the same as 6/3?
No. 6/2 has two current-carrying conductors plus ground; 6/3 adds a neutral. Choose 6/3 for dryers, ranges and other 120/240V appliances that need a neutral.
Is the wire solid or stranded?
The conductors are stranded copper, which bends more easily than solid 6 AWG but needs care when terminating on breaker lugs.
What amperage does 6-gauge copper support?
About 55 amps at the 60°C column and 65 amps at 75°C, subject to the breaker, terminals and local code. Most 6/2 installs use a 50 or 60 amp breaker.
Does it come with a ground wire?
Yes. A bare ground conductor runs inside the jacket alongside the two insulated conductors.
