Southwire 02688 Lighted End Extension Cord 10/3 Sjtw 50 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 02688 is a 50-foot, 10/3 SJTW lighted-end extension cord built for outdoor and jobsite use. The 10/3 conductor configuration delivers heavy-duty current capacity across the full 50-foot run, while the SJTW jacket rating means the cord is oil-resistant, water-resistant, and rated for outdoor service in varying weather conditions. The molded construction on both ends reinforces stress points and helps maintain a weatherproof connection. The illuminated end lets installers and technicians confirm the cord is live at a glance without reaching for a meter. Electricians, HVAC techs, and other trade professionals use this cord for temporary power on residential and light commercial jobsites.

This extension cord is suited for outdoor temporary power applications including HVAC equipment startups, pool and pump service calls, exterior lighting installations, and general contractor work. The 10 AWG conductors handle higher-amperage loads that standard 12 or 14 AWG cords cannot sustain across a 50-foot distance without significant voltage drop. The SJTW jacket holds up to moisture and abrasion common on active job sites. It is sold as an individual unit.

Key Features

• 10/3 SJTW construction — oil-resistant, water-resistant, rated for outdoor use
• 50-foot length reduces voltage drop for higher-amperage tools and equipment
• Lighted end indicator confirms circuit is energized without additional testing
• Molded ends provide strain relief and improved weather resistance at connection points
• Heavy-duty 10 AWG conductors support demanding jobsite loads

Compatibility

Designed as a heavy-duty outdoor temporary power extension cord compatible with standard 3-prong grounded outlets and tools rated for use with 10 AWG SJTW cordage.

Installation Notes

This cord should be installed and used by qualified electricians or trade professionals following NEC guidelines for temporary wiring on jobsites. Inspect the jacket and molded ends for damage before each use — do not use a cord with cracked insulation or damaged plugs. Never exceed the cord's rated ampacity and avoid running it under flooring, through walls, or in concealed spaces where temporary cordage is prohibited. Fully uncoil the cord before use to prevent heat buildup under load.
