Southwire 2308SW8803 Extension Cord 50 Ft 16/3 13A 125V

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 2308SW8803 is a 50-foot, 16/3 SJTW extension cord rated for 13 amps at 125 volts. The three-conductor, 16-gauge construction handles general-purpose power delivery for tools, equipment, and lighting in both indoor and outdoor environments. The SJTW jacket is oil-resistant and weather-resistant, making it suitable for job sites exposed to moisture, sun, and abrasion. The orange color provides high visibility on active work sites. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors rely on cords like this for temporary power runs during installation, service, and maintenance work.

This extension cord is designed for indoor and outdoor use across residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. It is well-suited for powering hand tools, trouble lights, portable fans, and small equipment from a standard 15-amp, 125-volt outlet. The NEMA 5-15P plug connects to standard household and commercial receptacles, and the single NEMA 5-15R outlet at the cord end accepts the same plug type. The 50-foot length provides sufficient reach for most service van and job site scenarios without requiring an additional cord.

Installation Notes

Extension cords should be fully uncoiled before use to prevent heat buildup from inductive coiling under load. Do not exceed the 13-amp current rating of this cord. For permanent wiring applications, NEC Article 400 prohibits the use of flexible cords as a substitute for fixed wiring. Inspect the jacket and plug blades before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
