Southwire 2817 Gfci Extension Cord 2 Ft Contractor Grade

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 2817 is a 2-foot, 12/3 contractor grade GFCI extension cord designed for jobsite and outdoor electrical applications. The inline GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection interrupts power within milliseconds of detecting a ground fault, reducing the risk of electric shock. Built on 12/3 wire gauge, this cord handles demanding loads while maintaining safe current capacity. Licensed electricians and skilled tradespeople rely on this type of cord for temporary power distribution at construction sites, renovation projects, and outdoor work areas where GFCI protection is required by code.

This GFCI extension cord is suited for residential and light commercial jobsite use where a short, heavy-duty temporary power run is needed. The inline GFCI design allows the cord to serve as a protected outlet at the point of use, making it practical for power tools, lighting, and other equipment in damp or wet locations where ground fault protection is required by the NEC. The single-outlet configuration keeps the setup simple and directed.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a contractor grade inline GFCI extension cord for use with standard 120-volt grounded outlets and compatible power tools, lighting, and equipment requiring ground fault protection.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should comply with applicable NEC requirements for GFCI protection in temporary wiring and outdoor or damp location applications. Always inspect the cord for damage before use and test the GFCI reset and test buttons prior to each job. Do not exceed the rated ampacity of the 12/3 conductors when connecting loads. This cord is intended for temporary power applications and should not be used as permanent building wiring.
