14-3 NM-B WIRE 250' COIL

14-3 NM-B WIRE 250' COIL – Product Description

🔌 What it is

A 250-foot coil of 14/3 NM-B (Romex-style) copper building wire used for residential lighting and switch-controlled electrical circuits.

🧾 What the shorthand means

• 14-3 → wire configuration:
  • 14 AWG copper conductors
  • 3 insulated conductors + ground
  • (typically black, red, white + bare copper ground)
• NM-B → Non-Metallic Building cable (indoor PVC-sheathed wiring)
• WIRE → electrical cable
• 250' COIL → 250-foot spool/coil

⚡ What it’s used for

14/3 NM-B is commonly used for 120V circuits that need an extra conductor for switching, such as:

• Three-way or four-way light switch circuits
• Ceiling fans with separate light and fan control
• Split-controlled lighting circuits
• Multi-location switch setups

🔥 Electrical characteristics

• Typically used on 15-amp circuits
• Rated for indoor dry locations only
• Copper conductors with PVC insulation and outer jacket

🧠 Simple explanation

This is a 250-foot roll of standard household wire used for lighting circuits where multiple switches control the same light or fan.

🔧 Key takeaway

• 14/3 = two hots + neutral + ground (extra conductor for switching)
• Used mainly for lighting and switch control setups
• Not for high-power appliances
