NMD90 Romex® SIMpull® Copper

Application

Southwire's Romex® SIMpull ® NMD90 cables may be used for both exposed work in dry locations or concealed work in dry or damp locations. The maximum allowable conductor temperature is 90°C. The minimum recommended installation temperature is -25°C for two-conductor cables and -10°C for three-conductor cables (with suitable handling procedures). Material should be properly stored above 0°C for 24 hours prior to installation. The maximum voltage rating for all intended applications is 300 volts. Consult the Canadian Electrical Code1 for further information related to applications.

Standards & References

Romex® SIMpull ® NMD90 cables meet or exceed the following requirements: • ASTM • CSA C22.2 No. 48 (non-metallic sheathed cable) • Canadian Electrical Code

Construction

Southwire's Romex® SIMpull ® NMD90 cables are available as two- or three-conductor cables with a bare grounding conductor. It is manufactured using annealed (soft) copper conductors—compressed standing for stranded conductors; a heat-resistant thermoplastic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation and nylon jacket for the individual conductors with a PVC jacket for the overall construction. Conductors are white" black and red (for 3 conductor cables). Cable jackets are colour coded by size for quick identification:

WHITE - General Residential Wiring
RED - 2 Black and Red conductors - 208V-240V Circuits (no neutral)
ORANGE - No. 10 AWG General Residential Wiring
YELLOW - No. 12 AWG General Residential Wiring
BLUE - No. 14 AWG - 2 black and white conductors - 120V Arc Fault Circuit Interupter Applications
J Romex® SIMpull ® NMD90 conductors feature SIM Technology jackets which reduces the coefficient of friction" allowing cables to be installed without external lubricants" resulting in reduced labour and materials costs
