Southwire 1769SW0002 Outdoor Extension Cord 100 Ft 12/3

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1769SW0002 is a 100-foot, 12/3 AWG SEOOW outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts AC. Built with three conductors and a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle, it delivers reliable power over long runs on job sites, in utility applications, and in outdoor service environments. The SEOOW jacket designation indicates a oil-resistant, weather-resistant construction suitable for hard-use conditions. With a 12-gauge conductor, voltage drop across the full 100-foot length stays within acceptable limits for most 15-amp loads. UL Listed and CSA Certified, this cord meets standard OSHA requirements for temporary power on commercial and residential job sites.

This extension cord is intended for outdoor use in trade and contractor applications where a durable, full-length power drop is needed. Typical use cases include powering tools, lighting, pumps, and HVAC test equipment at distance from the panel or outlet. The yellow jacket aids visibility on active job sites. A NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the other make it compatible with standard 15-amp, 125-volt circuits found throughout residential and light commercial work environments. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors commonly keep this cord on hand for temporary power needs.

Installation Notes

This cord is intended for temporary power use by qualified tradespeople and should not be used as a permanent wiring substitute. Inspect the jacket and plug for damage before each use, and do not energize a cord with exposed conductors or a cracked housing. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.404 governs the use of extension cords on construction sites, including requirements for GFCI protection when used in wet or outdoor conditions. Avoid running the cord under flooring, through walls, or in any configuration that creates a tripping or pinch hazard.
