Prodcut Description

The Southwire 14/2 CU NM-B with Ground Cable is a widely used residential electrical cable designed for indoor wiring in branch circuits. It features two copper conductors and a bare copper grounding wire, all protected with PVC and a color-coded nylon jacket for insulation. This cable is rated for up to 600 volts and is commonly applied in general-purpose wiring for outlets, lighting fixtures, and other household branch circuits.

Top Features

Residential Wiring: Ideal for general household outlets, lighting circuits, and other branch circuits.
Versatile Installation: Designed for use in walls, ceilings, or building cavities where the NEC permits.
Enhanced Safety: Includes a bare copper grounding wire for additional protection and compliance with electrical codes.
Temperature Resistance: Rated up to 90°C in dry conditions.
Durable Design: PVC insulated with a nylon jacket withstands wear and tear during installation.
Color-Coded: Black (hot), white (neutral), and bare (ground) wires for ease of installation.

Construction

Construction Specifications

Conductor: Made of bare copper conforming to ASTM B3. The conductor is solid for sizes #14 AWG to #10 AWG, and Class B compressed stranded for sizes #8 AWG to #2 AWG, as per ASTM B8.
Insulation: All phase and neutral conductors are insulated with a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound featuring a Nylon sheath. The color coding is as follows:
- 2-conductor: Black and White
- 3-conductor: Black, Red, and White
- 4-conductor: Black, Red, Blue, and White
Grounding: The grounding conductor is made of solid soft-drawn bare copper, wrapped with kraft paper.
Binder: Kraft paper is used as a binder.
Jacket: The cable is jacketed with a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound that incorporates SIMpull Technology.
