Southwire 1487SW0002 Outdoor Extension Cord 15A 125V 14/3 25 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1487SW0002 is a 25-foot outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts AC. Built with 14 AWG, 3-conductor SJEOOW flexible cord, it is designed for demanding outdoor environments where oil resistance, weather exposure, and job-site flex cycles are daily realities. The yellow jacket provides high visibility on crowded work sites. A single NEMA 5-15R receptacle at the end accepts standard 15-amp plugs, while the NEMA 5-15P male plug connects to standard wall or generator outlets. This cord is the go-to choice for electricians, HVAC technicians, and contractors needing reliable temporary power on residential and light commercial job sites.

This extension cord is suited for outdoor use in residential and commercial trade applications. SJEOOW construction means the jacket resists oil, sunlight, and moisture, making it appropriate for exterior work, equipment hookups, and service calls where the cord may be exposed to wet or greasy surfaces. The 14/3 gauge supports tools and equipment drawing up to 15 amps continuously, covering most portable power tools, portable HVAC equipment, and lighting used in the field. At 25 feet, it provides practical reach without excessive voltage drop for the rated load.

Installation Notes

This cord should be installed and used by qualified electricians or tradespeople in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) temporary wiring requirements. Inspect the cord jacket for cuts, abrasions, or damage before each use and take the cord out of service if the jacket is compromised. Do not exceed the 15-amp continuous rating, and do not use this cord as a permanent wiring method. Coil loosely during storage to prevent jacket fatigue and conductor damage.
