Southwire 2884AC 15A 12AWG 50 Ft Extension Cord Yellow Jacket

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 2884AC is a heavy-duty extension cord built for demanding job site and trade use. Part of the Yellow Jacket product line, this cord runs 50 feet in length, is rated at 15 amps, and is constructed with 12 AWG wire. The 12-gauge conductor size supports higher current loads over the full 50-foot run with minimal voltage drop, making it a reliable choice for power tools, compressors, and other trade equipment. The plug end features a built-in power indicator light that glows when the cord is energized, providing a quick visual confirmation of live status at the outlet end.

This extension cord is suited for residential and light commercial job sites where a long, durable power run is needed. The extra-heavy construction and oversized, clear molded plugs are designed to withstand rough handling, repeated coiling, and exposure to typical job site conditions. Electricians, contractors, and skilled tradespeople commonly keep cords of this type on hand for temporary power during installation, service, and renovation work.

Installation Notes

Extension cords of this type should be fully uncoiled before use to prevent heat buildup under load. Inspect the cord, plugs, and indicator light before each use and remove from service if insulation damage, bent prongs, or plug cracking is observed. Never use an extension cord as a substitute for permanent wiring; NEC guidelines restrict temporary wiring use. Store coiled and off the ground to extend service life.
