Tom- You'll not find NMC being manufactured to my knowledge by onyone. Next best thing if you are not faced with a subject to physical damage would be UF cable.

Messed up on that one.

George, that was my impression the last time I went on a search for NMC. The wire manufacturers shunt you off to a UF product. They are pretty much saying NMC is UF from the manufactuer's standpoint.
Is there anything NMC can do that UF can't?
