Check the fit

Confirm the jacket printing before buying. For a round outer jacket or an NM size the manufacturer does not name, use a tool whose documented fit matches that construction.

When to choose it

Choose the 45-621 for the two named flat NM sizes if you also want a plier nose and textured grips. The jacket and conductor features address different layers of the same cable.
