Running a switch and outlet with 2-wire Romex is a common electrical task that can be completed in a few steps. Romex is a type of non-metallic sheathed cable that is commonly used for residential electrical wiring. It is typically made up of two or more insulated conductors, a bare ground wire, and an outer sheath. In this case, we will be using 2-wire Romex, which has two insulated conductors and a bare ground wire.
The first step is to turn off the power to the circuit that you will be working on. This can be done by flipping the circuit breaker or removing the fuse for the circuit. Once the power is off, you can begin wiring the switch and outlet.
