Southwire 04820 Retractable Cord Reel 50 Ft 12/3 Sjtw

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 04820 is a retractable extension cord reel designed to keep job sites, workshops, basements, and garages organized and free of cord hazards. The reel houses a 50-foot, 12/3 SJTW cord — a junior thermoplastic, weather-resistant construction rated for demanding environments. The 12 AWG conductors handle heavier electrical loads common in trade and shop settings. The reel case is constructed from extra-tough ABS plastic, providing impact resistance suitable for frequent use in commercial and residential work areas. A spring-driven retraction mechanism retrieves the cord with minimal effort, reducing setup and teardown time between tasks.

This cord reel suits electricians, contractors, and facility maintenance personnel who need a reliable, permanently mounted power source in a fixed workspace. Typical installations include shop ceilings, garage walls, basement utility areas, and job-site trailers. The yellow housing provides high visibility in low-light work areas. The Luma-Site series is intended for mounting applications where a self-retracting cord replaces a standard drop cord or power strip setup, reducing clutter and tripping hazards on active work floors.
