Southwire 266 Extension Cord 15 Ft 16/3 Sjtw 125V

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 266 is a 15-foot, 16/3 gauge SJTW extension cord rated for 125 volts with a standard NEMA 5-15P plug configuration. Built with three-conductor SJTW jacketing, this cord is designed for general-purpose electrical service in environments where moderate flexibility and basic weather resistance are required. Electricians, contractors, and facility maintenance crews use this cord to extend power to tools, equipment, and temporary lighting setups on job sites and in commercial or residential settings. The orange jacket provides high visibility on busy work sites.

This extension cord is suited for indoor and light-duty outdoor use where a reliable 125-volt power source is needed at extended reach. Common applications include powering hand tools, fans, small compressors, and portable lighting. The 15-foot length makes it a practical choice for work areas where fixed outlets are set back from the task location. It ships as a single cord unit.

Installation Notes

Extension cords should be installed by qualified electricians or knowledgeable tradespeople in accordance with NEC guidelines for temporary wiring. Always verify that the connected load does not exceed the cord's ampacity rating for the gauge and length in use. Do not use this cord as a substitute for permanent wiring, and avoid running it through walls, ceilings, or floors. Inspect the jacket and plug for damage before each use and remove from service if insulation is cracked or the plug shows signs of heat damage.
