In my opinion, using the form "Romex®" feels a bit like advertising. Because of this, I would lean towards using the generic term instead.

Secondly, I think in most cases folks are not specifically talking about the Romex® brand of cable. Instead they are asking about nonmetallic sheathed cable in general. So I don't think there's any danger in changing a posts intent, by replacing "romex" with "nonmetallic sheathed cable" (or similar).

Nonmetallic sheathed cable can be referred to also as

  • Nonmetallic cable
  • Type NM cable
  • Type NM
  • Type NMB
  • NM cable
  • NMB cable
  • NM
  • NMB
