Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 9853SW0008 is a 6-foot, 16/2 AWG outdoor replacement cord rated for 13 amps at 125 volts AC. Built to the SJEOOW cord type standard, it is constructed for outdoor use where flexibility and weather resistance are required. The two-conductor design terminates with a NEMA 1-15P plug and includes one receptacle. Electricians and HVAC technicians use this cord as a direct replacement on portable equipment, power tools, and outdoor appliances where the original cord has been damaged or worn. UL Listed and CSA Certified, it meets the safety standards typically required for replacement cord work on listed equipment.

This replacement cord is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor applications. Its SJEOOW construction means the jacket and insulation are rated for outdoor exposure, oil resistance, and flexible service conditions. Typical install scenarios include replacing factory cords on portable fans, power tools, outdoor lighting, and similar equipment drawing up to 13 amps. The black jacket blends with most equipment and is resistant to abrasion in normal service environments. Licensed electricians performing cord replacements on listed equipment should verify the replacement cord rating matches or exceeds the original equipment specification before installation.
