Romex

Romex is a brand name for a type of electrical cable commonly used in residential wiring. It consists of multiple insulated copper or aluminum conductors bundled together within a protective plastic outer sheath. This cable simplifies wiring by providing a ready-made, organized way to distribute electricity safely throughout a home. It typically includes a hot wire (carrying current), a neutral wire (completing the circuit), and a ground wire (safety feature). Romex is easy to install, code-compliant, and widely used for indoor electrical projects, ensuring reliable power distribution while maintaining safety standards.
