Romex® Brand SIMpull® Copper Type NM-B-PCS DUO™ Cable
Nonmetallic-Sheathed Cable with both Power Conductors and Control/Signal Conductors. 600 Volts. Copper Conductors. PVC Insulation/Nylon Sheath. Color-Coded PVC Jacket with SIMpull® Technology for Easier Pulling.
Application & Features
Southwire Romex® Brand SIMpull® Type NM-B-PCS DUO™ cable nonmetallic-sheathed cable may be used for both exposed and concealed work in dry locations as specified in the National Electrical Code. NM-B-PCS cable is primarily used in residential wiring for SMART home applications such as 0-10V DC dimming controls for LED lighting. NM-B-PCS cable may be run in air voids of masonry block or tile walls where such walls are not wet or damp locations. Voltage rating for NM-B-PCS cable is 600 volts. All conductors are rated 600 volts. Complies with the Class 2/Class 3 circuit separation requirements of NEC 725.136(I)(1) and 725.136(I)(2)."
CAUTION: Do note use the control/signal component to make connections to 120V AC line voltage.
