Where can I find ROMEX in the Guadlajara area?

Anyone know? I tried Home Depot, but nada.

Thanks.

ROMEX is not used in these parts. It is not rated to be used in conduit. It is designed to be used in hollow walls.

"The Mexican electricistas use the flexible THNN or THW stranded wire which can be easily pulled through the orange or black politubo (polyethylene tubing) which is used as conduit."

I agree. I've been in and out of a bunch of electrical places and have never seen romex.
