Southwire 55040303 16/3 Sjeoow Replacement Cord 13A 300V

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55040303 is a 16/3 SJEOOW-rated replacement cord designed for both indoor and outdoor electrical service. It carries a 13-amp, 300-volt rating and features three 16-gauge conductors enclosed in a black oil- and water-resistant jacket. The SJEOOW designation means this cord is built for hard use in demanding environments where exposure to moisture, oils, and abrasion is expected. Licensed electricians and maintenance technicians install this type of cord when replacing damaged or worn service cords on tools, equipment, and portable devices. It is sold in 1-foot increments with a minimum cut length of 125 feet from a 250-foot coil.

This replacement cord is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where a flexible, durable power cord is required. Its outdoor rating makes it appropriate for construction sites, manufacturing floors, and service environments where cords are exposed to the elements or petroleum-based fluids. The black jacket blends into most equipment installations and resists UV degradation. Compliance with NEC Article 400, NEC Article 501.140 Class I Division 2, MSHA, and multiple CSA and UL standards makes it suitable for use in a wide range of regulated environments including certain hazardous locations.
