Southwire 2548SW0077 Outdoor Extension Cord 50 Ft 12/3 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 2548SW0077 is a 50-foot, 12/3 AWG SJTW outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts AC. Built with three conductors and a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle, it delivers reliable power to tools, equipment, and temporary lighting in outdoor work environments. The 12-gauge wire handles sustained current draws common on jobsites, reducing voltage drop over the full 50-foot run. The pink and lime green jacket increases visibility on busy work sites, lowering the risk of trip hazards and accidental cuts. UL Listed and CSA Certified, the cord meets OSHA jobsite compliance requirements.

This extension cord is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor use. Electricians, contractors, and trade professionals reach for it when powering circular saws, drills, compressors, and other 15-amp tools and equipment from a standard 125-volt outlet. The SJTW jacket construction resists moisture, sunlight, and abrasion, making it appropriate for ground-level runs on exterior job sites, landscaping work, pool equipment service, and general construction applications where a durable, code-compliant cord is required.

Installation Notes

This cord should be installed by a qualified electrician or used by trade professionals familiar with NEC requirements for temporary wiring and extension cord use. Never exceed the 15-amp current rating of the cord or the connected outlet circuit. Inspect the jacket, plug blades, and receptacle contact for damage before each use, and do not use a damaged cord. Avoid running the cord under rugs, through walls, or as a substitute for permanent wiring.
