Southwire 2549SW0041 Outdoor Extension Cord 100 Ft 12/3

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 2549SW0041 is a 100-foot, 12/3 gauge 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 and equipment on job sites, outdoor worksites, and residential applications. The SJTW jacket is designed to handle outdoor conditions, providing flexibility and resistance to moisture, abrasion, and sunlight. The 12-gauge wire sizing supports sustained current draw without excessive voltage drop over the full 100-foot run, making it a practical choice for power tools, HVAC service equipment, lighting, and general trade use.

This extension cord is suited for outdoor professional use where a long, heavy-duty power run is required. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors commonly use this cord when working at distance from a panel or outlet. The NEMA 5-15P plug and 5-15R receptacle provide standard 125-volt compatibility with common receptacle configurations found on residential and light commercial job sites. The red and white jacket color aids visibility on busy work sites.
