Tip: Typical use is 20 A general-purpose receptacle circuits, including kitchen counter and bathroom GFCI circuits. Keep the inner bend radius at a minimum of 5x the cable diameter (about 2.1" here) so the jacket and insulation are not damaged. The individual conductors inside NM-B are not listed or marked as THHN and may not be installed apart from the complete cable.
