Romex Wires are non-metallic wires that are commonly used for electrical wiring in homes. Romex consists of one or more copper wires, a neutral conductor and a ground wire. The copper wires are individually insulated and the entire bundle of wires is sheathed in a plastic coating. The Romex Wire comes in various color variations, depending on the gauge number and wire thickness.
The Romex Wire can be stripped to take apart copper wire. However, it really is a tedious task to get the copper wire separated as you need to remove two layers of insulation. Though this can be done with simple tools like razor blade and player, it takes much time and effort. Further, stripping may cause damage to copper inside, which in turn may impact pricing.
