I saw a 100' cable like this 50' one. The 100' has no wires. Does this 50' have wires?** A: The package I got has wires. Current is flowing through them daily. **Q: What size conduit fitting is needed? 1/2" or 3/8" or other?** A: 3/8” fittings **Q: Does it have 3 wires? Black, white and ground?** A: Yes, the 12/2 wire has black, white and copper ground. **Q: can this be burried underground? and if so how deep ?** A: I wouldn't bury it. If you need to bury it use romex with the gray jacket. I usually use gray PVC at a foot deep and pull wire thru it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***. on April 7, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***S on November 30, 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by #***M on March 3, 2026* --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/265594458-68580052-50-foot-12-gauge-2-conductor-type-mc-cable](https://www.desertcart.us/products/265594458-68580052-50-foot-12-gauge-2-conductor-type-mc-cable) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
