Southwire 2549SW0077 Outdoor Extension Cord 100 Ft 12/3

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 2549SW0077 is a 100-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 at the load end, it is designed for demanding outdoor jobsite and service applications. The 12-gauge conductor handles sustained current draw without excessive voltage drop over the full 100-foot run. The SJTW jacket is oil-resistant and weather-rated, making it suitable for wet and outdoor environments. The distinctive pink and lime green coloring makes the cord easy to spot on a busy jobsite. It is UL Listed and CSA Certified, meeting common electrical safety standards for trade and commercial use.

This extension cord is suited for outdoor residential and light commercial jobsite use where a long, heavy-duty supply lead is needed. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors use cords of this type to power tools, equipment, and temporary lighting at distances from the power source. The 100-foot length covers most single-story structure perimeters and mid-rise staging areas without the need for a second cord. The NEMA 5-15P plug connects to standard 15-amp, 125-volt outlets found on most jobsite temporary power panels and exterior receptacles.

Installation Notes

Extension cords of this type should be fully uncoiled before use to prevent heat buildup under load. Verify that the connected load does not exceed the 15-amp rating of the cord. Do not use this cord as a permanent wiring substitute; NEC guidelines restrict extension cords to temporary use only. Inspect the jacket and plug blades for damage before each use and replace the cord if the insulation is cut, cracked, or abraded.
