Southwire 9084-88-02 Generator Extension Cord 12 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 9084-88-02 is a heavy-duty generator extension cord designed to expand a single locking outlet into three usable receptacles at the point of connection. It converts one L5-20P locking male plug into three lighted 5-15 receptacles, allowing multiple tools or loads to draw power from a single generator output simultaneously. Built with 12/3 STOW construction, the cord uses stranded 12 AWG conductors for flexibility and current-handling capacity, wrapped in a bright yellow jacket for high visibility on job sites. The molded locking male connector and solid molded plugs are designed for extended service life in demanding environments. Electricians and general contractors are the primary installers.

This cord is rated for both indoor and outdoor use and is well-suited to construction and industrial job sites where generator power distribution is required. Typical applications include powering drills, hammer drills, circular saws, wet/dry vacuums, lawn mowers, and air compressors from a single generator outlet. The 2-foot length keeps the adapter close to the generator outlet, minimizing voltage drop across the distribution point before longer runs begin. The lighted receptacles allow users to confirm live power at a glance in low-light conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation and connection of generator cords should be performed in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for temporary power and generator hookups. Power down or shut off the generator before connecting or disconnecting the cord. Verify that the total load across all three receptacles does not exceed the amperage rating of the generator outlet or the cord. Inspect the molded connectors for damage before each use and do not operate with a damaged plug or jacket.
