I also have noticed that romex jacket varies from brand to another.

Colonial seems to have the thickest jacket I've run across,Southwire the thinnest.

OK, I thought that only Southwire can legally use the name ROMEX. That's the stuff to which I referred.

Do other mfgs. also color-code, besides Southwire?

TG,

Romex is a registered trademark of Southwire. It wasn't always that way though. Southwire purchased the building wire division from General Cable a few years ago, and in the process aquired the Romex brand name.

All the NM cable manufacturers color code now. White for 14, yellow for 12, orange for 10.

T&B has their version shown here, if your supply house won't carry T&B, try another supply house.
