Southwire 1429SW0008 Outdoor Extension Cord 100 Ft 14/3 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1429SW0008 is a 100-foot outdoor extension cord rated for 13 amps with a 14 AWG, 3-conductor SJEOW jacket. The SJEOW jacket is oil-resistant, water-resistant, and cold-weather flexible, making this cord suited for job site use in variable weather conditions. It terminates with a NEMA 5-15P straight blade plug on one end and a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the other. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors reach for this cord when temporary power is needed at a distance from the panel or outlet. At 11 pounds, it handles daily coiling and uncoiling on active job sites without excessive fatigue.

This extension cord is designed for outdoor temporary power applications across residential and light commercial job sites. Typical use cases include powering tools, test equipment, portable lighting, and service equipment during installation or maintenance work. The 100-foot length gives technicians working range from a single receptacle without daisy-chaining cords. The 13-amp continuous rating supports most standard 120-volt hand tools and diagnostic equipment. The black jacket is a common job site color that holds up to surface abrasion and UV exposure.

Key Features

• SJEOW jacket rated for outdoor use — oil-resistant, water-resistant, and cold-weather flexible
• 13-amp continuous rating supports standard 120-volt power tools and equipment
• 14 AWG, 3-conductor construction limits voltage drop over 100-foot run
• NEMA 5-15P plug and single NEMA 5-15R receptacle — standard 120-volt configuration
• UL listed for compliance with safety and performance standards
• 100-foot length reduces the need to daisy-chain cords on large job sites

Compatibility

Designed for use with 120-volt, 15-amp circuits and equipment fitted with NEMA 5-15 plugs, including hand tools, portable lighting, and service equipment rated at or below 13 amps continuous draw.

Installation Notes

Extension cords of this type should be fully uncoiled before use to prevent heat buildup. Do not exceed the 13-amp continuous current rating or connect to circuits greater than 15 amps. NEC guidelines restrict the use of extension cords as permanent wiring — this cord is rated for temporary service only. Inspect the jacket and terminations before each use and remove from service if cuts, cracks, or damaged plug pins are present.
