Southwire 26480064 Outdoor Extension Cord 50ft 10/3 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 26480064 is a 50-foot, 10/3 AWG SJTW outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts AC. It features three conductors and a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle, making it a heavy-duty general-purpose cord for jobsite and outdoor applications. The SJTW jacket designation indicates a thermoplastic construction rated for outdoor use, with resistance to oil, abrasion, and moisture. Available in blue and red, it is easy to identify on busy job sites. Electricians and general contractors rely on this cord for temporary power distribution during construction, maintenance, and outdoor work where a durable, code-compliant extension cord is required.

The 26480064 is suited for outdoor residential and light commercial applications including construction sites, landscaping equipment, outdoor power tools, and temporary power setups. The 10 AWG wire gauge supports higher-draw tools without excessive voltage drop over the 50-foot run. The NEMA 5-15P plug connects to standard 15-amp, 125-volt outlets. It meets OSHA requirements for jobsite extension cord use and carries both UL Listed and CSA Certified ratings, satisfying common inspection and compliance requirements on regulated work sites.

Installation Notes

Installation and connection of this extension cord should follow NEC guidelines for temporary wiring and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.405 requirements for construction sites. Always inspect the cord jacket for cuts, abrasion, or damage before each use, and never operate with a damaged cord. Do not exceed the 15-amp current rating, and avoid coiling tightly under load to prevent heat buildup. Disconnect power at the source before connecting or disconnecting the cord on energized circuits.
