What breaker can 12/3 UF-B Copper Cable go on?: Up to 20 A. NEC 240.4(D) limits 12 AWG copper to 20 A of overcurrent protection whatever the ampacity table says.
How far can I run it before voltage drop is a problem?: At 20 A on a 120 V single phase circuit, about 45 ft one way keeps the drop at 3 percent, the figure an informational note to NEC 210.19(A) suggests for branch circuits. Try other loads in the voltage drop calculator.
Can it be buried directly in the ground?: Yes. It is rated for direct burial; the minimum cover is in NEC Table 300.5 (24 in. for direct burial under the general condition).
Can I buy it by the foot?: Yes, cut to length in whole feet from 25 ft, or on 250, 500, 1,000 ft spools. Cut wire is final sale; uncut spools can be returned within 30 days.
