Southwire 90218802 Extension Cord 12/3 Awg 15A 125V Yellow

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 90218802 is a 12/3 AWG STW-A extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts. It carries three conductors in a yellow jacket and is approved for use in indoor, outdoor, and wet-location environments. The NEMA 5-15P plug end mates with the L5-20R receptacle end, giving technicians and tradespeople a cord that bridges standard and locking-outlet configurations. At 9 inches in total length, this unit is suited for close-quarters power distribution tasks where a full-length cord would be impractical. UL Listed under the STW-A designation confirms the jacket meets the minimum requirements for wet-rated flexible cord. Licensed electricians and trade professionals are the primary installers.

This extension cord is appropriate for residential and light commercial jobsite applications where temporary power must be routed in damp or outdoor conditions. The 12/3 AWG construction keeps voltage drop minimal under continuous 15-amp loads, making it a reliable choice for power tools, HVAC service equipment, and pump-motor setups operating at 125 volts. Its yellow jacket provides high visibility on busy job sites. The single-receptacle design keeps the configuration clean and limits the load to the rated 15-amp circuit capacity.

Installation Notes

This extension cord should be installed by a licensed electrician or qualified tradesperson in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for temporary wiring and flexible cords. Verify the supply circuit is de-energized before making connections. Do not exceed the 15-amp continuous load rating, and do not use this cord as a substitute for permanent wiring. Inspect the jacket for cuts or abrasions before each use, especially in wet-location applications.
