NM-B 6/3 Wire XMK 25ft Copper Residential Electrical Cable with Ground

Description

Product Overview

The XMK NM-B 6/3 wire is a premium non‑metallic sheathed cable designed for residential electrical installations. Constructed from 99.99% oxygen‑free copper, the three 6 AWG conductors (black, white, red) provide low‑resistance pathways for 120 V and 240 V circuits, while the 10 AWG ground ensures a solid safety return. The cable is UL‑listed, rated for 600 V, and operates safely within a temperature range of –10 °C to 90 °C (–14 °F to 194 °F). Its PVC jacket is stiff enough for easy pulling yet flexible enough for routing through conduit, studs, and wall voids. Available in a variety of lengths—from 10 ft to 100 ft—and gauge options (6 AWG and 8 AWG), the product meets the needs of DIY enthusiasts, electricians, and contractors alike.

Usage

This NM‑B cable excels in dry, indoor environments such as basements, garages, and interior walls. It is ideal for feeding branch circuits to outlets, light switches, ceiling fans, and dedicated appliance loads. Because the cable can be installed both exposed and concealed, it works well in new construction as well as remodel projects where the wiring must be run through existing wall cavities or across open joists. The 6 AWG size supports higher‑current loads, making it suitable for small‑appliance circuits, while the 8 AWG option is perfect for lighting and general‑purpose circuits. The cable’s robust construction also allows it to be used in air voids of tile walls or masonry block, provided the area remains dry.

FAQ

Is NM‑B cable suitable for outdoor use?

No. NM‑B cable is intended for dry, indoor locations only. For outdoor or wet environments, use UF‑B or another weather‑rated cable.

Can I run this cable through a conduit?

Yes. The PVC jacket is rated for use in conduit, and the cable can be pulled through standard PVC or metal conduit without damage.

What is the difference between the 6 AWG and 8 AWG options?

6 AWG conductors carry higher current (up to 55 A) and are ideal for heavier loads such as kitchen appliances or dedicated circuits. 8 AWG is suitable for lighting and general‑purpose circuits with lower current demands.

How do I identify the ground wire?

The ground conductor is a solid 10 AWG copper wire, typically bare or with a green insulation, running alongside the three insulated conductors.

What warranty does XMK provide?

XMK offers a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Contact our support team with the product serial number for service or replacement.
