[QUOTE="B&M Farms, post: 1009691, member: 15666"] They make an underground Romex that has a grey jacket but I would still put it in PVC pipe. 14 or 12 ga wire would be useless in a 120' run. With 120volts the 12 would carry about enough amperage to flip the breaker every time you used a power tool. At a 120' I would use nothing smaller than 8ga. It would carry 35 amps at 120v or 50 amps at 230v. Stranded wire would do a little better. You can google cable charts to understand voltage drop in long runs of wire. Just remember solid wire is lower than stranded wire. [/QUOTE]
