Southwire 1689SW0002 Outdoor Extension Cord 100 Ft 12/3 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1689SW0002 is a 100-foot, 12/3 AWG outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts AC. Built to SJEOOW cord construction, it is designed for use in demanding outdoor environments where flexibility, durability, and oil resistance are required. The three-conductor, 12-gauge wire handles the current demands of power tools, job site equipment, and outdoor electrical loads without excessive voltage drop over the full 100-foot run. It is terminated with a NEMA 5-15P male plug on one end and a single NEMA 5-15R female receptacle on the other. Electricians, contractors, and trade professionals rely on this cord for temporary power distribution on job sites and outdoor service work.

This extension cord is suited for residential and commercial job site use wherever a long, heavy-duty outdoor power run is needed. Typical applications include construction sites, HVAC service calls requiring temporary power, landscaping and irrigation work, and outdoor maintenance tasks. The SJEOOW jacket rating makes it appropriate for wet, oily, and abrasive outdoor conditions. It is a standard tool for electricians and general contractors who need a reliable, code-compliant temporary power solution at distances up to 100 feet.

Installation Notes

This cord is intended for temporary power applications and should not be used as a permanent wiring method per NEC guidelines. Inspect the jacket and plug blades for damage before each use, and do not exceed the 15-amp continuous current rating. Keep the cord fully uncoiled during use to prevent heat buildup at high loads. Disconnect power at the source before connecting or disconnecting equipment in wet conditions.
