Skyshalo 10/2 nm

[Dennis Alwon]

I found this at another forum. Home depot is selling 50' 10/2 nm for $68 while the other brands are $170.

One thing I noticed is that it says wet and dry location--uh huh

Also the conductors are stranded except the equipment grounding conductor..... UL listed Something is wrong

They call it NM but if you look at the jacket it is like UF and they say it is wet location rated

I wonder what they mean by copper core.

Well they're changing the regular color scheme for #10

I thought 'NM-C' is the one thats also for damp locations. I have not seen it in a while.

I wondered whether it was copper coated thus being more like #12. The info says copper core so the use of the word core has me confused.

I'll order some and find out. It says its UL listed.

I personally would not touch "Chinese" NM cable if you gave it to me for free. I never buy small rolls of NM cable, always 250' or 1000' from supply house. The price of the 10/2 NM cable in this thread is higher than what I pay my supply house per foot for a 250' roll.

I'll stick with Cerro, Encore, Southwire and even CME (Mexican) over China.

Seems like no matter what the size is its a yellow jacket.

I don't judge a book by its cover if its a good product I'll use it, and I have always wondered why they dont make stranded 10/2 NM.
I used to be a die hard buy American, union made American truck guy until the mid 2000's when I noticed all my pals 15yo Toyota trucks from the 90's were running fine as well as my wife's civic and I had replaced a transmission and dozens of repairs.. Since then I say let the best product win, truck or a roll of wire regardless.
