Southwire 1787SW0002 Outdoor Extension Cord 25 Ft 10/3 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1787SW0002 is a 25-foot, 10/3 AWG outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts AC. Built with SJEOOW cord construction, it is designed to handle demanding jobsite and outdoor service environments where flexibility and durability are required. The 10-gauge, 3-conductor configuration makes it suitable for powering high-draw tools and equipment where voltage drop over the cord run must be kept within acceptable limits. It terminates with a NEMA 5-15P straight-blade plug on one end and a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the other. At 6.5 pounds, it carries enough copper to handle continuous loads without excessive heat buildup. This cord is UL Listed, CSA Certified, and referenced under OSHA standards.

This extension cord is used in outdoor residential and light commercial applications, including construction sites, HVAC service work, pool and pump equipment staging, and general trade use. The yellow jacket provides high visibility in busy work areas. SJEOOW rating means the jacket is oil-resistant on both the outer sheath and conductor insulation, making it a practical choice for mechanical rooms, equipment yards, and wet-location service calls where petroleum-based fluids or standing water may be present.

Key Features

• 10/3 AWG conductor gauge minimizes voltage drop on 25-foot runs with high-current tools
• SJEOOW jacket construction provides oil resistance on inner and outer insulation layers
• Rated 15 amps at 125 volts AC for compatibility with standard 15-amp branch circuits
• NEMA 5-15P plug and NEMA 5-15R receptacle for use with standard 3-prong outlets
• Yellow jacket increases visibility on active jobsites and outdoor work areas
• UL Listed, CSA Certified, and meets OSHA standards for jobsite electrical use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard NEMA 5-15 branch circuits rated at 15 amps and 125 volts AC. Suitable for outdoor and wet-location applications requiring an SJEOOW-rated extension cord.

Installation Notes

This cord should be installed and used by qualified electricians or trade professionals familiar with NEC requirements for temporary wiring and extension cord use. Inspect the cord jacket and terminals before each use and do not operate with damaged insulation or bent prongs. Do not exceed the 15-amp continuous current rating or use this cord as a substitute for permanent branch circuit wiring. Coil loosely during use to prevent heat buildup, and store off the ground when not in service.
