Southwire 1289SW0002 Outdoor Extension Cord 100 Ft 16/3 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1289SW0002 is a 100-foot, 16/3 AWG outdoor extension cord rated for 10 amps at 125 volts AC. Built to SJEOOW cord standards, it is designed for flexibility in cold temperatures and resistance to sunlight, moisture, and abrasion. The three-conductor construction carries a standard NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the other. The high-visibility yellow jacket makes it easy to track on a job site. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals reach for this cord when temporary power is needed for tools and equipment in outdoor service conditions.

This extension cord is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor applications where a durable, weather-resistant temporary power run is required. Common uses include supplying 120-volt power to portable tools, job-site lighting, and service equipment in outdoor or semi-exposed environments. The SJEOOW rating means the cord jacket holds up in wet locations and tolerates the oil exposure and temperature swings typical of active job sites. At 100 feet, it provides enough reach to avoid daisy-chaining multiple cords, which can cause voltage drop and tripped breakers.

Installation Notes

Extension cords of this type are installed and managed by licensed electricians or qualified trade personnel following NEC guidelines for temporary wiring. Before connecting or disconnecting, verify the circuit is de-energized or the load device is switched off. Never exceed the rated ampacity of 10 amps, and do not use this cord as a permanent wiring substitute. Inspect the jacket and connectors for damage before each use, particularly in high-traffic outdoor environments.
