It depends on size of wire and size of staple. a staple 1/2 inch long can hold 1 10-2 wire, 1 12-2 or 12-3 wire, or 2 14-2 or14-3 wires. basically the bigger the staple the more wires. Just be careful not to hammer the staple into the wire. You want the staple snug but not biting into the wire.

It is recommended to only staple one romex wire under a staple to prevent damage to the wire insulations and to ensure a secure installation.
