Product Overview

UL 719 Certified NM-B Cable: Safe & Efficient Indoor Power Distribution
Type NM-B cable is a cost-effective, non-metallic sheathed electrical wire designed for indoor residential and commercial wiring. With a flame-retardant PVC jacket and 600V rating, it delivers reliable power to outlets, switches, and appliances while complying with UL 719 and NEC standards. Ideal for dry locations, it simplifies installations without conduit.


Key Features

  • Voltage Rating: 600V

  • Temperature Range: Up to 90°C (dry locations)

  • Flame Retardant: Meets FT4 standards

  • Jacket Colors: Size-coded (White: 14 AWG; Yellow: 12 AWG; Orange: 10 AWG; Black: 8/6 AWG)

  • RoHS Compliant: Environmentally safe materials


Applications

  • Residential Wiring: Branch circuits for outlets, switches, and lighting.

  • Concealed Work: Inside walls, ceilings, and floor cavities.

  • Commercial Spaces: Office buildings, retail units, and dry industrial areas.

  • Masonry Walls: Air voids of block/tile walls (non-damp locations).
