Specifications – Nonmetallic (NM) sheathed cable

Ref. CEC Rule 12-500 NM cables shall be protected from physical damage
Canadian Electrical Code 2012 Part I, defines when it passes through factory- or field-punched,
nonmetallic sheathed cable as, “A factory assembly cut or drilled holes in metal members. A bushing or
of two or more insulated conductors having an grommet firmly secured in place is recommended

Please refer to the following for further details
Nonmetallic sheathed cable is constructed of and complete information:
insulated conductors (14 to 2 AWG copper), and 1. UL 719, ANSI C33.56 – Safety standards
an outer nonmetallic sheath classified as Types for nonmetallic sheathed cable

Please note
Nonmetallic sheathed cable is permitted by code The excerpts and other material herein, whether
to be used exposed or concealed in one, two or relating to the Canadian Electrical Code 2012 Part I,
multifamily dwellings or other structures not the Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. listing, to

sheathed cables are also prohibited in hazardous
locations.

NM cables need to be secured in place by suitable

means so as not to injure the cable. Adequate
protection for cable is also required when run is
exposed, through joists or rafters, through floors,
in unfinished basements and accessible attics.

Steel or malleable iron.

Rounded cable grip and smooth bushing protect
the cable sheath and wire insulation. Since saddle
threaded, screws do not travel or extend beyond
the fitting body as it is clamped to the cable.
An extra lip on the saddle closes the unused part
