electricman2,
have you ever been short of material?

the key word was SHORT..i am not talking about anything more than 6 feet..

that was the point of the question..what is the concensus or opinions on the use of the CONDUCTORS CONTAINED IN NM cable..they are thhn aren't they? they are not marked as to size, type, manufacturer etc. or have any temp ratings..

i could make a Billion dollars replacing all the NM cable that is outside the building..

i am not saying it is right..but people will continue to use it..

thanks
