Southwire 1287SW0002 Outdoor Extension Cord 25 Ft 16/3

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1287SW0002 is a 25-foot outdoor extension cord rated at 13 amps and 125 volts AC. Built with 16 AWG, 3-conductor SJEOOW cord in high-visibility yellow, it delivers durable power distribution for job sites, service vehicles, and outdoor equipment operation. The SJEOOW jacket is oil-resistant, water-resistant, and sunlight-resistant, making it suitable for demanding outdoor environments. This cord ships as a single unit and is UL Listed and CSA Certified, meeting OSHA standards for job-site use. It terminates with a standard NEMA 5-15P male plug and provides one NEMA 5-15R female receptacle for a single connected load.

This extension cord is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor applications where a reliable, weather-resistant temporary power connection is required. Typical use cases include powering tools and equipment during HVAC, plumbing, or electrical service calls, outdoor maintenance, and construction tasks. The yellow jacket increases visibility on active job sites, reducing trip and snag hazards. At 25 feet, it provides enough reach for most single-point equipment connections without excessive voltage drop at the 13-amp rating.

Installation Notes

Extension cord connections should comply with applicable OSHA temporary power requirements and NEC guidelines for job-site use. Inspect the cord jacket and plug blades for damage before each use — do not deploy a cord with cracked insulation, bent blades, or a damaged receptacle housing. Never exceed the 13-amp continuous load rating, and avoid running the cord under rugs, through walls, or in conduit as a permanent wiring method. De-energize the source outlet before connecting or disconnecting the cord under load.
