The Power of Color CODED WIRES
Cerrowire’s color-coded wires have made a leap in productivity for electricians, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts.

Now you can tell 3-conductor NM-B cable from 2-conductor at a glance, saving valuable time and reducing the risk of errors on the job site. Packages of new light blue 14/3 AWG and purple 12/3 AWG colors of CerroMax™ NM-B are readily available at electrical distributors across the country, making it easier than ever to identify the right cable for your wiring project.

Packages of new light blue 14/3 AWG and purple 12/3 AWG colors of CerroMax NM-B

Whether you’re an electrical contracting pro wiring a new home or an apprentice just learning the trade, CerroMax™ makes it easy to quickly distinguish between common residential wiring configurations like 14/2, 14/3, 12/2, and 12/3 in a split second. This color-coding system simplifies wire selection, speeds up installations, and reduces the risk of costly mistakes. Customers need to research NM-B cable color coding to understand these industry standards and ensure they are using the correct cable for each application.

Enhanced Visibility and Safety with Color-Coded NM-B Cable

The power of color makes it better for inspectors, too. When you see a light blue CerroMax™ cable, you know it’s a 14/3 NM-B electrical wire. CerroMax 12/3 NM-B electrical wire is now purple and CerroMax 10/3 electrical wire is now pink. This clear and consistent color-coding system improves communication and enhances safety on the job site by providing a quick and reliable way to identify different cable types. Inspectors can quickly verify the correct cable is being used for each application, ensuring compliance with NEC regulations and safety standards. This is especially important for complex wiring projects where multiple cable types are present, such as in kitchen remodeling, bathroom wiring, or home additions.

From the Field

Nice NM-B 14-gauge residential wire that has three conductors. This wire is obviously blue which stands out from the typical Romex. This is perfect for residential wiring.

This is a genius idea. I really hope it becomes industry standard. Being able to identify a wire size and count at a glance is so much nicer than having to find the markings or get up close to inspect for what you are looking at.
