Let's say for example I'm running wire to a receptacle and all I have on *hand* is 3 wire. If one was to use that, is it code-okay to just Cut the 3rd Wire flush to where the outer jacket is removed on both ends. Or does the 3rd wire need to be in the box with a wirenut. I don't do this often....but it just so happens that I need to run a spare outlet and only have 3 wire in stock. ///// And or just buy the 2 wire , which is a option
