Southwire 3489SW0002 Outdoor Extension Cord 100 Ft 12/3

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 3489SW0002 is a 100-foot, 12/3 outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts AC. Built with SJEOOW cord construction, it is designed for use in wet, oily, and outdoor environments where standard indoor cords are not suitable. The 12 AWG, 3-conductor configuration supports higher-current loads and provides a grounded circuit for tool and equipment safety. This cord is commonly used by electricians, HVAC technicians, contractors, and service professionals who need reliable temporary power at job sites or during field service work.

This extension cord is suited for outdoor and industrial job site applications where exposure to moisture, sunlight, and rough handling is expected. The SJEOOW rating makes it appropriate for use around oils and in wet conditions, which is common in mechanical rooms, construction sites, and outdoor HVAC or plumbing service calls. The single NEMA 5-15R receptacle provides a standard 3-prong grounded outlet for connecting one piece of equipment at a time. The yellow jacket increases visibility on busy work sites.
