Southwire 02589SW-0002 Extension Cord 12/3 100ft 15A 125V

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 02589SW-0002 is a 100-foot, 12/3 SJTW outdoor extension cord with a lighted end indicator. The 12/3 construction uses three 12-gauge conductors, supporting up to 15 amps at 125 volts for heavy-duty portable power applications. The molded, water-resistant vinyl jacket is rated for outdoor use and handles a temperature range of -20 degrees C to 60 degrees C. The lighted end provides a quick visual confirmation that power is present at the outlet end of the cord. Electricians, contractors, and maintenance crews use this cord where a durable, weather-resistant power drop is needed on job sites or outdoor service calls.

This extension cord is suited for outdoor residential and light commercial applications where a long, heavy-gauge power run is required. Common scenarios include construction sites, landscape and irrigation work, outdoor lighting setups, and exterior equipment operation. The yellow jacket improves visibility in low-light or high-traffic areas. The molded connectors and water-resistant design reduce the risk of moisture ingress at the terminations, making the cord appropriate for use in wet or damp locations as defined by the NEC.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should comply with NEC Article 400 governing flexible cords and cables. Always verify the connected load does not exceed the 15-amp rating of the cord before energizing. Do not run this cord under rugs, through walls, or in concealed spaces, as SJTW-type cords are rated for portable, temporary use only. Inspect the molded connectors and jacket for damage before each use, and remove the cord from service if the jacket is cut, abraded, or the ground pin is missing or damaged.
