Duplex connectors for NM cables

[SigmaElec]

Is anyone aware of duplex connectors for NM or SE cable on the market? If you have seen or used one, do you know who manufactured it? I appreciate any insight you all may have!

When you say duplex do mean a connector capable of holding 2 nm cables? Or are you actually looking for something like a "quad" connector? Most all NM(romex) connectors will hold up to 2 14/2 or 12/2 flat cables now.

Nizak,

I am thinking of a quad connector if you put it like that. Our NM connectors are listed for use with 2 pieces of 14/2, but we wondering about something like a Duplex Connector for MC cable, but for NM. So essentially it would be two "ports" if you will, allowing for either one or two strands of NM cable to be run in each.

Thanks for the help!

I have never seen anything like that .To my way of thinking there would be no way of getting 12 conductors H/N/G thru a 1/2" trade size opening, or even a 3/4" for that matter.

I have used these before but I believe there is still a max. capacity of (2) 14/2 or 12/2 NM

All the years I've been using them, I never knew that some of them were rated for NM cable. Hmm.
