Q:Hi Is this wire like soft wire or its the same as the southwire?
by|Mar 2, 2021

Answer This Question
A: This is not stranded wire, if that's what you mean - it's solid conductor. The only difference between this Cerrowire and the Southwire 12/2 is who manufacturers it. They are for all intents and purposes related to electrical work, designed to be interchangeable.

A: This is not wire, but a cable assembly made up of two insulated conductors and one bare conductor. This Cerrowire 12-2 NM-B cable is very similar to Southwire 12-2 NM-B cable.

A: Not quite sure what you mean by soft wire but I take it you're either referring to stranded thhn or SO cord. Either way these styles are not the same as the Southwire romex. All these are totally different applications.

Answer This Question
A: Your receptacles will do fine with this gauge wire based on your load demands. Lighting is normally 14/2 w ground. My garage receptacles are all wired with this wire and 20 amp breakers. My lighting wired 14/2 with 15 amp breakers.

A: It really depends on your town electrical code. I have used 12-2 with ground for the outlets and lights.
Underground may need to be in pvc tubing. If not, they make 12-2 with ground UF which stands for Underground Feed.
