Hi Marc,
I received this reply from Product Support at Southwire, the manufacturer's of RomexTM NM cable:
Some of it was paper and tar which looked like rubber. There may have been other versions as well.
Southwire
Not what I expected as I've seen the fabric-covered NM cables and worked with it, and, while I have see some which looked like that description, most looked more like fabric, more like cotton.
However, that is the answer I have received back.
