The distance you can run 14/2 wire underground depends on the application and the acceptable voltage drop. For general lighting and receptacle circuits on a 15-amp circuit, a common rule of thumb is to limit the run to about 100 feet to keep voltage drop below 3%. However, for exact specifications, you should consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and consider factors like soil conditions and load requirements.
