Default replacing older electrical outlets

The outlets that got replaced already seem to have new wire runs as
well. These outlets are connected to beige flat cables (I think this
is called Romex). The older/original wiring is going to metal boxes.
This cable looks to be a rubbery substance covering some kind of mesh.
The cable says Citex NON METALIC COVERING. I have pulled one of the
older outlets, its in a metal box with four wires coming in (two
black/two white).
