Three 12/2 NM cables going into a plastic box with an outlet

conductors 6
grounds 1
Oulet 3


Devices are 2 per strap. So for a single gang duplex receptacle,
that's just 2.

Total 10


Total 9, as long as you don't have any cable clamps that extend into
the box.

10 times 2.25 = 22.5 cubic inch box needed.


9 * 2.25 = 20.25
