I found a"hot" unused romex cable laying in the dirt under my house.
I can't get back to the point of origin to disconnect. It is on a GFI
circuit. What is the proper way to safely terminate this wire?

Thanks for the responses. The junction box looks like the way I'll
have to go. How do I need to ""prepare" the end of the cable inside
the box? Can I make a new cut on the end of the cable and wrap it
with electrical tape or should I put wire nuts on the ends of each
individual conductor?

Thanks again,
Phil
