Skyshalo 10/2 nm

Looks like it's plenum rated too!

NM sheath is required to be flame retardant. As for the photo, I'll chalk that up to advertising hyperbole.

These pictures all remind me of Amazon ads for Chinese products. Usually for speaker cables and the like with CCA conductors. This roll is about $100 less than what Home Depot charges for U.S.-sourced NM of the same gauge and length. Seems fishy.

Lowes sells Southwire 250' for $293 which is 1.17 a foor which is cheaper than a 50' roll but this is equivalent to UF. I never bought a 50' roll either. I wouldn't buy it either but the use of stranded wire is an interesting idea.

Maybe it's just the industrial controls guy in me, but I can't stand solid wire; I'd gladly support a NM wiring method with stranded wire. Maybe they should just decide to allow Tray Cable in residential installations.

I really don't like Romex at all, especially #10. Solid conductors work harden too easily, and if you have to pull a device out of the box for troubleshooting, it can me almost impossible to get the conductors back in without damaging them. To say nothing of twisting and un-twisting them from splices.

I've rewired a good chunk of my house over the years, and what isn't in conduit is stranded MC. My fingers are much happier.
