Southwire 9029SW8802 Extension Cord 100 Ft 12/3 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 9029SW8802 is a 100-foot, 12/3 AWG STW extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts AC. Built with three conductors and a yellow jacket, it is designed for demanding job-site and service applications where exposure to moisture, water, or variable weather conditions is expected. The STW cord type meets UL listing requirements for wet, damp, and dry environments. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors rely on this cord where a heavy-duty, full-length extension is needed to power tools and equipment at distance from a supply circuit.

This extension cord is suited for both indoor and outdoor use, including wet locations, making it appropriate for construction sites, equipment service calls, pool and mechanical room work, and similar trade environments. The cord terminates in a single receptacle and uses NEMA L5-20P on the plug end and L5-20R on the receptacle end, the standard locking configuration for 125-volt, 20-amp-rated circuits. At 12 AWG, the conductor size supports full-load current with reduced voltage drop over the 100-foot run compared to lighter 14 or 16 AWG cords.

Key Features

• 100-foot length reduces the need for cord staging on large job sites
• 12/3 AWG conductors minimize voltage drop at distance under load
• STW jacket rated for wet, damp, and dry locations
• NEMA L5-20P plug and L5-20R receptacle for secure locking connection
• UL Listed for safety compliance on regulated job sites
• Yellow jacket provides high visibility in busy work areas

Compatibility

Compatible with 125-volt circuits using NEMA L5-20 locking outlets. Suitable for use with power tools, test equipment, compressors, and other loads drawing up to 15 amps on standard 20-amp locking circuits in indoor, outdoor, and wet-location environments.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should comply with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for temporary wiring and extension cord use. Inspect the cord jacket and connectors before each use and remove from service if damage, cuts, or exposed conductors are found. Do not exceed the 15-amp current rating or operate the cord while coiled, as coiling under load reduces heat dissipation. Only licensed or qualified electricians should connect this cord to fixed wiring or panel-fed outlets where applicable codes apply.
