14-2 White Romex® SIMpull Type NM-B Cable, w/ Ground (50' Coil)

This 50 foot coil of Southwire 14-2 white Romex SIMpull Type NM-B cable delivers exactly what residential electricians and DIY homeowners need for indoor branch circuit wiring. The cable includes two 14 AWG conductors plus a ground wire, all rated for 600 volts and designed for both exposed and concealed work in normally dry locations. Southwire's SIMpull technology reduces the effort required to pull cable through studs and conduit, which means less strain on your hands and faster job completion. This is genuine Romex brand cable, meeting UL 719 and Federal Specification A-A-59544 standards for nonmetallic-sheathed wiring in residential and light commercial applications.

• SIMpull Technology: Southwire's proprietary coating reduces pulling friction by up to 50%, so you can snake cable through walls and along joists without the rope burn and wasted time that comes with standard cable.
• 14 AWG Copper Conductors: Two solid copper conductors, each 14 gauge, handle the 15 amp circuits that power most residential outlets and lighting, giving you the wire size that matches standard household electrical loads.
• Type NM-B Jacket: The white nonmetallic sheath is rated for dry locations at temperatures up to 194°F (with ampacity limited to 140°F conductor ratings per NEC), so you can install it in attics, interior walls, and other spaces where moisture isn't a factor.
• Integrated Ground Wire: The bare copper ground wire runs the full length of the cable, providing continuous equipment grounding without the need for separate grounding conductors or metal conduit.
• 50 Foot Coil: This compact coil length covers typical room-to-panel runs or outlet-to-outlet extensions without the excess waste and storage hassle of a 250 foot roll.
• UL 719 Listed: Meets Underwriters Laboratories safety standards for nonmetallic-sheathed cable, which means inspectors will approve it and you can trust it's been tested for fire and shock hazards.
• White Color Coding: The white jacket immediately identifies this as 14 gauge cable, following the industry standard color system (white for 14 AWG, yellow for 12 AWG, orange for 10 AWG), so you or the next electrician won't have to guess wire size during troubleshooting or additions.

This 14-2 NM-B cable is designed for residential branch circuits serving outlets, switches, and lighting fixtures on 15 amp breakers. It may be run in air voids of masonry block or tile walls where such walls are not wet or damp locations. Per the National Electrical Code, use this cable only in normally dry indoor locations, never in areas subject to moisture, outdoor exposure, or direct burial. Pair it with standard electrical boxes, cable staples rated for NM cable, and appropriately sized wire connectors for terminations.

Route the cable through framed walls, ceilings, and floors, securing it with cable staples or straps at intervals required by local electrical codes (typically every 4.5 feet and within 12 inches of boxes). Strip the outer jacket carefully to avoid nicking the insulated conductors, then make connections inside approved electrical boxes using twist-on wire connectors or terminal screws. Keep the cable away from sharp edges, and avoid running it where it could be damaged by nails, screws, or building movement. No ongoing maintenance is required once installed, but protect the cable from physical damage and ensure it remains in dry conditions throughout its service life.

A: This 14-2 Romex cable is rated to carry 15 amps continuously on a 15 amp circuit breaker, which is the standard maximum for 14 AWG copper wire per the National Electrical Code. The two 14 gauge conductors and ground wire in this cable are built to handle typical residential loads like outlets, lighting, and small appliances without overheating. Never exceed 15 amps on a circuit wired with 14 gauge cable, and always match your breaker size to the wire gauge to prevent overload and fire hazards.

A: Yes, 14-2 wire is the standard choice for wiring 15 amp outlet circuits in residential settings. This cable's two insulated conductors (hot and neutral) plus the ground wire provide everything you need to safely connect multiple outlets on a single 15 amp breaker. Just make sure the total load on the circuit doesn't exceed 15 amps, and follow local electrical codes for the number of outlets allowed per circuit and proper cable securing.
