Southwire 2548SW0064 Outdoor Extension Cord 50 Ft 12/3

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 2548SW0064 is a 50-foot, 12 AWG, 3-conductor outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts AC. Built to SJTW jacket standards, it resists moisture, sunlight, and temperature extremes, making it a reliable option for jobsite and outdoor service work. The cord carries UL Listed and CSA Certified ratings and meets OSHA requirements. It terminates in a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the load end and a NEMA 5-15P plug on the supply end. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors reach for this cord when powering tools or equipment at remote locations where a fixed outlet is not available.

This extension cord is suited for outdoor residential and light commercial applications. Typical uses include powering portable tools, HVAC service equipment, lighting, and temporary construction loads. The 12 AWG conductors support full 15-amp draw across the entire 50-foot run with reduced voltage drop compared to lighter-gauge cords. The blue and red color scheme allows quick visual identification on busy jobsites. One NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the cord end accommodates a single standard plug.
