Type NM-B cables are mainly employed in residential building applications as outlined by the National Electrical Code. They come in sizes from #14 to #6 and are constructed with either 2 conductors with a ground or 3 conductors with a ground. The individual conductors consist of solid, soft-annealed copper with PVC insulation and a nylon jacket. The ground wire is left bare. The entire assembly is encased with a paper layer, and PVC is applied to the outer jacket. Alan Wire's NM-B adheres to recognized industry standards and includes a friction-reducing additive for smoother installation.
Standards:
The cable has a voltage rating of 600V and complies with ASTM B3, ASTM B8, and RoHS regulations. It is also certified by UL-83, UL-719, UL-1581, and UL-2556 with the UL listing number E-519271. The cable meets the standards outlined in NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 334 and Federal Specification A-A-56544. Additionally, it is compliant with the Buy American provision of ARRA 2009 Section 1605.
