Southwire 1488SW0002 Outdoor Extension Cord 50 Ft 14/3 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1488SW0002 is a 50-foot outdoor extension cord built for job-site and heavy-use service environments. It carries a 14/3 AWG SJEOOW rating, meaning three conductors of 14-gauge wire enclosed in an oil-, water-, and weather-resistant jacket. The cord is rated for 15 amps at 125 VAC and terminates with a NEMA 5-15P straight-blade plug on one end and a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the other. The yellow jacket provides high visibility on busy job sites. Electricians, contractors, and maintenance crews rely on this cord for temporary power distribution in outdoor applications where moisture, abrasion, and UV exposure are constant factors.

This extension cord is suited for outdoor residential and light commercial applications including construction sites, landscaping work, generator hook-up runs, and equipment staging areas. The SJEOOW jacket designation indicates the cord is rated for use in wet, oily, or sunlit environments, making it appropriate wherever a standard indoor extension cord would fail prematurely. One receptacle accepts standard 15-amp tools and equipment. CSA certification, UL listing, and OSHA compliance make it acceptable on regulated job sites where documentation of cord ratings is required.

Installation Notes

Extension cords of this type are installed and managed by licensed electricians or qualified trades workers in accordance with NEC Article 400 guidelines for flexible cords. Before connecting, verify that the load draw of attached equipment does not exceed the 15-amp cord rating. Inspect the jacket for cuts, abrasions, or exposed conductors before each use, and never defeat the grounding pin on the NEMA 5-15P plug. Do not run this cord under rugs, through walls, or as a substitute for permanent wiring.
