NM-B cable buyers in Texas
Romex is the cable every electrician recognises and the one most likely to be sitting in a garage in half-used coils after a residential job.

01
NM-B cable we review
What this family covers and what identifies it.
NM-B is a 600 volt non-metallic sheathed cable with thermoplastic-insulated conductors and a bare ground, jacketed overall. It is a dry-location product, which is why it does not belong in a wet trench or an outdoor raceway.
Texas surplus is mostly 14/2, 12/2 and 12/3 in 250-foot coils, with 10/2 and 6/3 for ranges and services. Coils are usually banded and marked, and the print on the jacket gives the gauge and conductor count.
02
Specification checklist
The facts that decide how a lot is evaluated.
- Voltage and rating600 V, 90°C conductor rating, dry locations only.
- Sizes14, 12, 10, 8 and 6 AWG in two and three conductor plus ground.
- Packaging250 and 1,000 foot coils and spools, usually banded with a printed label.
Send what the reel says. A printed legend and a reel tag are stronger evidence than a description written from memory. If a detail is unknown, mark it unknown rather than guessing.
03
Constructions we buy
Reviewed separately, because they are valued separately.
Range and service cable
10/3 and 6/3 lengths, usually short and usually still banded.
04
How a lot is evaluated
Construction, condition, documentation, quantity and logistics.
Send the gauge, conductor count and coil length. The jacket print answers the first two, and a tape measure settles the third faster than any description.
NM-B that has been outside is a different review. Sun exposure yellows and stiffens the jacket, and moisture in an unsealed coil end is the usual reason a residential leftover is declined.
Safety first. Never cut, strip, disconnect or move energised cable to prepare a sale. De-energising and proving dead is work for qualified personnel under the site's electrical safety programme.

NM-B cable questions
Answered for sellers, not for search engines.
Do you buy half-used Romex coils?
Yes, with a stated remaining length. Open coils are normal on residential work.
Is NM-B acceptable outdoors?
Not in its standard form. Outdoor and wet locations call for UF or a wet-rated construction, so NM-B found outside is reviewed for condition rather than reuse.
What sizes are most in demand?
12/2 and 14/2, followed by 10/3 and 6/3 for ranges and services.
