Southwire 55809443 12/3 Soow Hard Service Cord 100 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55809443 is a 100-foot roll of 12/3 SOOW flexible cord rated for hard-service and portable submersible applications. It features three bare, flexible, stranded Class K copper conductors insulated with EPDM rubber and assembled with wax paper fillers and a tissue paper separator for clean jacket removal. The outer jacket and insulation resist heat, moisture, flame, ozone, and oil, making this cord suited for demanding industrial and construction environments. It carries a temperature rating of -40 degrees F to 194 degrees F in standard wet or dry conditions, with an oil and coolant exposure limit of 140 degrees F. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This cord is designed for wiring industrial equipment, motors, heavy tools, battery chargers, portable tools, welding leads, marine dockside power, power extensions, and mining applications. It also serves temporary electrical power and lighting installations on construction sites. The SOOW designation indicates suitability for both wet and dry locations and confirms the cord meets hard-usage ratings required in demanding job-site and industrial settings.
