Default feeder wire for a subpanel

If it's 4 seperate cables, they'll have to be in a conduit. What you need
is 4/3 with ground. And it does come in romex if you go to the electrical
supply house.

I'm planning to install a subpanel on the 2nd floor that is fed from a
main in the basement. I'm guessing it's about a 40' run. The panel
will be 100A or 125A. The reading I've done so far suggested I need
SER type cable for the feeder run. I couldn't find this cable at any
local home store. One store had SER aluminum listed as special order,
but they couldn't get it anyway.

Any idea what the right cable is for this? I also hope this comes as
a sheathed cable, or would it be 4 separate cables?
