Southwire 1788SW0002 Outdoor Extension Cord 50 Ft 10/3 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1788SW0002 is a 50-foot, 10/3 AWG outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts AC. Built with SJEOOW cord construction, it is engineered for use in wet, oily, and outdoor environments where a standard indoor extension cord would fail or pose a hazard. The three-conductor, 10-gauge wire keeps voltage drop minimal over the full 50-foot run, making it a reliable choice for tools and equipment that draw significant current. The yellow jacket provides high visibility on job sites. This cord is UL Listed and CSA Certified, meeting OSHA compliance requirements for temporary power applications in construction and trade work.

This extension cord is suited for residential and commercial job sites, outdoor power tool use, HVAC equipment startup, and temporary service connections. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors reach for this cord when powering compressors, drills, saws, and other 120-volt tools and equipment at distance from a panel or outlet. The heavy 10-gauge conductor rating supports sustained current draw without overheating, making it appropriate for motor-driven loads. One NEMA 5-15R receptacle is provided at the load end, and the NEMA 5-15P plug connects to standard 15-amp, 125-volt outlets.

Installation Notes

This cord should be installed or deployed by a qualified electrician or trained tradesperson familiar with OSHA temporary power requirements and applicable NEC guidelines for extension cord use. Before connecting, verify the outlet or power source is rated at 15 amps and 125 volts. Do not use this cord as a substitute for permanent wiring, and do not exceed the 15-amp current rating by daisy-chaining additional cords or overloading the circuit. Inspect the cord for cuts, abrasions, or damaged insulation before each use.
