Southwire 2883 Outdoor Extension Cord 25 Ft 12/3 Awg 15A

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 2883 is a 25-foot outdoor extension cord built for trade and job-site use where a reliable, heavy-duty power run is needed. Constructed with 12 AWG, 3-conductor SJTW-A cord, it handles up to 15 amps at 125 volts AC, making it suitable for power tools, portable lighting, and HVAC service equipment. The yellow jacket provides high visibility on busy job sites. It ships with a NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and a single NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the other. UL Listed, cUL Listed, and CSA Certified, this cord meets the standards electricians and contractors need to stay compliant on commercial and residential work sites.

The 2883 is designed for outdoor environments and is rated for use in wet or damp conditions consistent with SJTW-A cord construction. It is well-suited for residential service calls, light commercial work, and general contractor applications where a 25-foot reach is required. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers will find the 12 AWG gauge appropriate for running high-draw tools without significant voltage drop over the cord length.

Installation Notes

Extension cords should be fully uncoiled before use to prevent heat buildup during high-amperage draws. Do not exceed the 15-amp rating of this cord; using it with loads beyond its rating creates a fire and shock hazard. Inspect the jacket and plug blades for damage before each use, and replace the cord if the insulation is cracked or the plug is loose. NEC guidelines apply to temporary wiring on job sites — consult the authority having jurisdiction for specific requirements.
