Light Archon SwitchLoop 14/3 Copper NM-B Cable with Ground
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
Light Archon SwitchLoop 14/3 copper NM-B cable is the three-conductor run for 3-way and 4-way switching, split-wired receptacles, and fan-and-light circuits that need a separate switched leg. Each run is a continuous factory length with three 14 AWG solid copper conductors, a bare copper ground, and a light blue 600V jacket.
The light blue jacket is the trade color cue for the 14/3 construction, keeping travelers and switched legs obvious in a packed stud bay. A slick outer surface cuts pulling force through drilled framing, the jacket strips clean, and production print carries standard size and type text only. The listed maximum is 15A for 14 AWG, matching 15A overcurrent protection on lighting circuits. The desk confirms run counts and switching layouts at quote review.

Installation Notes
- Pair 14 AWG copper with 15A overcurrent protection per NEC.
- Use the red conductor as the traveler or switched leg and re-identify per local practice.
- Count conductors, clamps, and devices toward box fill per NEC; three-conductor runs fill boxes faster than two-conductor runs.
- NM-B is limited to dry interior locations; support and secure at NEC spacing intervals.
- Final circuit counts, run lengths, and switching layouts are confirmed at quote review.
Warranty and Support
- Backed by the Light Archon trade supply program; warranty terms are confirmed at quote review.
- Submittal sheets and takeoff review support are available from our electrical supply desk.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need 14/3 instead of 14/2?
Any time a circuit needs two hot legs in one cable: 3-way and 4-way switch runs, separate fan and light control, split-wired receptacles, or shared-neutral multiwire circuits installed per NEC.
What lengths can I quote?
Factory runs of 15, 25, 50, 100, 250, and 1000 ft. Mixed lengths on one quote list are fine.
Can this cable run outdoors or underground?
No. NM-B is listed for dry interior locations. For wet locations or burial, quote THHN conductors in conduit or a UF class cable at review.
Is the jacket print neutral?
Yes. Production jacket print carries standard size and type text such as 14/3 W/G NM-B 600V, with no retail brand marks.
