Southwire 1789SW0002 Outdoor Extension Cord 10/3 Awg 100 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1789SW0002 is a 100-foot, 10/3 AWG SJEOOW outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts AC. Built with three conductors and a flexible SJEOOW jacket, this cord is engineered for demanding outdoor environments where moisture, abrasion, and oil exposure are common. The 10-gauge wire handles higher current loads without excessive voltage drop over the full 100-foot run. It terminates with a NEMA 5-15P straight blade plug on the supply end and a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the load end. The yellow jacket provides high visibility on job sites. Applicable for professional electrical work and trades requiring UL Listed, CSA Certified, and OSHA-compliant equipment.

This extension cord suits outdoor construction sites, HVAC service calls, electrical rough-in work, pool and landscape equipment supply, and any application requiring a long, heavy-gauge power run in exposed conditions. The SJEOOW cord type designation indicates a thermoplastic elastomer jacket rated for sunlight resistance, water exposure, and oil resistance, making it appropriate for year-round outdoor use. Electricians and general contractors typically deploy this cord for temporary power distribution during service and installation work.

Key Features

• 10/3 AWG conductor set minimizes voltage drop over a 100-foot run at 15 amps

• NEMA 5-15P plug and NEMA 5-15R single receptacle configuration
• UL Listed, CSA Certified, and OSHA compliant for job site use
• High-visibility yellow jacket reduces trip hazards and improves cord location on busy work sites
• Single 15-amp, 125-volt receptacle suitable for one connected load

Compatibility

Designed for use with 125-volt, 15-amp NEMA 5-15 outlets and equipment. The NEMA 5-15P plug connects to standard 15-amp, 125-volt receptacles; the NEMA 5-15R load end accepts standard 15-amp, 125-volt plugs.

Installation Notes

Installation and deployment of this cord should follow NEC Article 400 requirements for flexible cords and cables. Always verify the connected load does not exceed the 15-amp rating of the cord or the branch circuit supplying it. Do not use this cord as a permanent wiring substitute or run it through walls, ceilings, or conduit. Inspect the jacket for cuts, abrasion, or damage before each use and remove from service if the jacket or plug is compromised.
