ROMEX WIRE Q) Which cabinet light fixtures may be connected to each other with household Romex wire?
Romex wire is used throughout your household behind walls to wire your entire house. It usually is made up of 3 wires: one wire with white insulation, one wire with black insulation, and one copper wire with NO insulation and white insulation around all 3 wires holding them together. The Romex wire that is used to connect lighting fixtures is usually described as “14/2 with ground” (although this MAY vary with geographical location). The “14/2” refers to the two insulated wires that are each 14 gauge in diameter and the “ground” refers to the uninsulated copper wire. None of the cabinet light fixtures may be connected to each other using Romex wire. The Microfluorescent T4 Fixtures, the Fluorescent T5 Low-Profile Fixtures, and the Fluorescent T5 SlimLite XL Fixtures are simply too small in their profile for a Romex wire to be inserted in them.
