Why is AWM not used?
A. Appliance Wiring Material Type (AWM) is a “recognized” component — not a wiring method, not a listed cable, and not suitable for direct application except as part of a higher-level listed assembly. AWM, as a unlisted recognized component, is typically of lesser construction with thinner insulation or lesser flame retardant properties than required for wiring methods. LINKOSITY™ components are intended for use as a wiring method and the listed cable construction makes for a safe code complaint solution when properly applied.
