12/2 copper NM-B cable with ground, 250 ft coil
Cable is metal-sensitive, but a trustworthy comparison must preserve wiring method, conductor material, gauge, conductor count, ground, and coil length.

Estimator worksheet
- Purchase unit
- one 250 ft coil
- Gross basis
- 250 linear ft of this exact cable per coil before routing, vertical travel, tails, slack, damaged ends, and waste
- Quantity method
- Measure reviewed circuit routes by wiring method and gauge, add declared vertical travel, tails, slack, and waste, divide by 250 ft, and round coils up while tracking verified remnants.
- Cost method
- Multiply purchase coils by the observed per-coil price. Keep boxes, devices, connectors, staples, protection, testing, labor, delivery, tax, and waste separate.
Scope checks before ordering
- Do not use this quantity record to decide conductor size, protection, ampacity, derating, or permitted installation location.
- Separate home runs and branch groups when route assumptions or required cable type differ.
Do not merge unlike products
- Do not combine aluminum, UF-B, MC, individual conductors, or different coil lengths.
- Record conductor count, ground, gauge, and package length.
- Separate contract pricing and quantity breaks from open-market prices.
Before using a price
Confirm wiring method, conductor sizing, ampacity rules, derating, installation environment, code, listing, circuit design, and permitted substitutions with the qualified electrical team.
