Have other uses if not code compliant, just wondering and one of the code gurus will know without me searching. <G>
Which is kind of strange since you can only use it at it's 60° C ampacity anyway.If you have rolls of NM cable sitting around, it's scrap metal for the reason mentioned above.
At one time it made decent sense to me having dealt with "baked" wiring in ceiling boxes before NM-B was required and folks put 150 watt incandescent lamps in ceiling fixtures. With LED lamps now the prevelant lighting, that problem is not likely to occur.Which is kind of strange since you can only use it at it's 60° C ampacity anyway.

When was the last 'NM' manufactured or sold in the US?
