Our take on the Southwire Romex 10/2NM-WGX25 Sheathed Cable

Southwire Romex 10/2 NM-WG is a 25-foot coil of two-conductor nonmetallic sheathed cable with a bare ground wire, used for 30-amp branch circuits in dry indoor locations. The conductors are solid THHN copper rated 90°C and 600V, but the National Electrical Code limits the ampacity to the 60°C column, so the cable is treated as a 30-amp product. It suits homeowners and electricians running dryer, water heater, or subpanel feeders through walls, ceilings, and masonry. Against single-conductor THHN in conduit, it is faster to run and needs no conduit indoors, but it cannot go underground or in wet spots and is stiffer to pull through tight bends.

Pros
  • Two insulated conductors plus a bare ground in one jacket
  • Solid copper THHN conductors rated 90°C and 600V
  • Can be fished through walls, ceilings, and masonry block
  • UL listed and code-recognized for exposed or concealed dry indoor wiring
  • No conduit needed indoors, which saves time on a run
Cons
  • Not for wet or damp locations or direct burial
  • Stiffer and harder to pull than stranded wire in conduit
  • Ampacity capped at the 60°C rating, so it is a 30-amp cable
  • Limited to dwellings no more than three floors above grade

What reviewers say

Owners and electricians describe this cable as standard, code-compliant branch wire that pulls reasonably well for its gauge. Most complaints center on stiffness in cold weather and the effort of bending 10-gauge solid copper in tight boxes.

What people mention
  • FlexibilityCriticisedOwners say the cable is stiff, especially in cold weather, and takes effort to route through tight spaces.
  • StrippingMixedSome find the jacket strips cleanly, while others report nicking conductors when removing it.
  • BuildPraisedBuyers describe solid copper conductors and a tough PVC jacket as durable and code-compliant.
  • InstallationMixedElectricians like that it needs no conduit indoors but note 10-gauge solid wire is hard to bend in boxes.

Questions and answers

Is this cable rated for 30 amps?
Yes. The conductors are 90°C THHN, but the code limits NM cable to the 60°C ampacity, which is 30 amps for 10-gauge copper.
Can I bury this cable underground?
No. It is only for normally dry locations and is not rated for wet or damp spots or direct burial.
Does it include a ground wire?
Yes. It has two insulated conductors plus a bare ground wire, which is what the WG in the name means.
Can it be used in a three-story house?
It is listed for dwellings no more than three floors above grade, so check your building height against that limit.
Can I run it inside conduit?
It can be fished through walls and masonry, but NM cable is not meant to be pulled through long conduit runs; use single THHN for that.
Is it suitable for a dryer or water heater?
Yes. Both are commonly wired on 30-amp circuits, which matches this 10/2 cable.
Where is the Southwire Romex 10/2NM-WGX25 Sheathed Cable cheapest?
