Southwire 1428SW0008 Outdoor Extension Cord 50 Ft 14/3

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1428SW0008 is a 50-foot, 14/3 outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts. Built with SJEOW cord construction, it is designed to handle outdoor conditions including moisture, temperature variation, and oil exposure. The 14 AWG, 3-conductor configuration delivers reliable current capacity for tools and equipment that draw up to 15 amps. The black jacket provides UV resistance suitable for exterior job site and service work. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and contractors use this cord for temporary power drops during installation, maintenance, and service calls where a permanent outlet is not available.

This extension cord is suited for outdoor residential and light commercial applications. The SJEOW jacket rating makes it appropriate for use in wet and oily environments, which is common on active job sites. It terminates in a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the load end and a NEMA 5-15P plug on the source end, making it compatible with standard 15-amp, 125-volt outlets. Typical use cases include powering portable tools, test equipment, and service lighting during HVAC, plumbing, or electrical work.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of temporary power cords on job sites should comply with applicable NEC requirements for extension cord sizing and ampacity. Always verify the connected load does not exceed the 15-amp rating of this cord before energizing. Inspect the jacket and terminations for damage before each use, and do not use a damaged cord. Coil and store the cord loosely to prevent heat buildup during extended use under load.
