romex 2-wire, with black & red conductors underneath jack
Just want to ask if anyone visiting this site, has ever seen NM cable/romex
2-wire with ground with a Red Insulated conductor along with the white
insulted conductor? Very old NM cable, had a reduce grounding conductor.

Black and red? Sounds like you've got your hands on some Canadian product.

don't drink, then write a thread.
And that just after one beer. Sorry guys, me bad.
The headline should had read, "White & Red conductors underneath jacket." and not Black & Red.
THANKS for your reply posts.
This cable must had been MFG. on a Monday.

We have/had (not sure if they still make/use it) a #12 red/black c/w bare ground that was used for baseboard heating.
Sorta like the 3 wire bx that has a green insulated wire as well as a bare wire for I.G. circuits.

Yep, there is still red/black 12/2 + ground for baseboard heat. Also 10/2 like this for central air conditioners or water heaters...but I've never heard of red and white together.
