Butler Preferred Brand 2549swusa1 Sjtw Outdoor Extension Cord

Product Description

The BUTLER PREFERRED BRAND 2549swusa1 is a 100-foot SJTW-rated outdoor extension cord built for job site and field use. It runs 12 AWG, 3-conductor stranded copper through a PVC jacket rated from -40 degrees F to 140 degrees F, making it serviceable in cold-weather conditions where lighter cords fail. The NEMA 5-15P straight plug feeds a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle, with a rated capacity of 15 amps at 125 volts AC and a maximum load of 1,875 watts. A power indicator signals that the circuit is live. Electricians and contractors reach for this cord when routing temporary power to tools, equipment, or lighting across long runs on residential and light commercial sites.

This cord is suited for outdoor applications where moisture, temperature swings, and physical abuse are part of the environment. The SJTW trade designation confirms it is approved for outdoor use with a thermoplastic jacket that resists oil and sunlight degradation. The Blue, Red, and White jacket coloring aids quick visual identification on busy job sites. The single-connector, round-cord design coils and uncoils cleanly for repeated daily use. It fits general-purpose 15-amp circuits found throughout residential construction, remodeling, and outdoor maintenance work.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should follow NEC guidelines for temporary wiring and extension cord applications. Inspect the cord for damage before each use and do not exceed the 15-amp rated load. Never use an extension cord as a substitute for permanent wiring. For outdoor use on energized circuits, ensure the supplying receptacle is GFCI-protected per applicable code requirements.
