Southwire 26490054 Outdoor Extension Cord 100 Ft 10/3 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 26490054 is a 100-foot, 10/3 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 is designed for heavy-duty temporary power applications on job sites, in mechanical rooms, or around commercial and residential properties. The SJTW jacket rating means it is suitable for outdoor use, providing resistance to moisture, abrasion, and sunlight exposure. This cord is available in a green and red color scheme for easy identification. It ships as a single unit and is appropriate for electricians, HVAC technicians, and other tradespeople who need a reliable, code-compliant power extension on the job.

This extension cord is suited for outdoor and indoor temporary power needs where a 15-amp, 125-volt circuit is available. The 10 AWG conductor size supports longer runs with reduced voltage drop compared to lighter-gauge cords, making it a practical choice for power tools, portable HVAC equipment, pumps, and other motor-driven loads on construction sites or during service calls. The NEMA 5-15P plug connects to standard 15-amp grounded outlets.

Installation Notes

This extension cord should be installed by a qualified electrician or tradesperson in accordance with NEC guidelines for temporary wiring and extension cord use. Always verify the connected load does not exceed 15 amps to prevent overheating. Inspect the cord jacket for cuts, abrasions, or damage before each use, and never use a damaged cord. Do not coil the cord tightly under load, as heat buildup can degrade the jacket and conductors over time.
