Southwire 2457SW0003 Extension Cord 25 Ft 14/3 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 2457SW0003 is a 25-foot, 14/3 AWG SJTOW extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts. Built with three conductors and a flexible oil-resistant jacket, this cord is engineered for both indoor and outdoor use on job sites and in service environments. The black SJTOW jacket resists moisture, abrasion, and temperature swings that are common in field conditions. With a NEMA 5-15P plug and a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle, it connects to standard 15-amp outlets. Licensed electricians and trade professionals use this cord to extend temporary power to tools, equipment, and lighting during installation or service work.

This extension cord is well-suited for residential and light commercial job sites where a reliable 25-foot reach is needed. The 14-gauge conductors handle 15-amp loads across the full cord length without significant voltage drop, making it appropriate for power tools, work lights, and portable HVAC or service equipment. The outdoor-rated SJTOW jacket holds up in wet locations and on rough terrain, meeting the demands of daily trade use. It carries a single receptacle at the load end for straightforward single-tool connections.
