Southwire 8955726 is an 8-gauge, 3-conductor nonmetallic sheathed cable with a bare ground, sold in a 25 ft coil. It is Type NM-B, rated to 600 volts and 90°C, with annealed stranded copper conductors and a black PVC jacket. The 8/3 size suits heavy 240-volt runs such as ranges, dryers, subpanels and large EV chargers, where 10/2 and 12/2 cable cannot carry the load. Stranded conductors pull through conduit and bends more easily than solid wire, and the bare ground saves a conductor versus running separate wire. It is for dry, normally dry locations only, so it cannot go underground, in wet areas or outdoors.
