Southwire/coleman Cable 1687SW0002 Outdoor Extension Cord

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 1687SW0002 is a 25-foot, 12/3 SJEOW heavy-duty outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts. Built to contractor-grade standards under the Polar Solar designation, this cord is engineered for demanding job-site conditions. The SJEOW jacket construction delivers superior abrasion resistance compared to standard SJTW cord, and the compound resists oils and chemicals encountered in the field. The cord remains flexible in extreme temperatures, from -67 degrees F down to 194 degrees F upper limit, making it usable in both cold-weather outdoor work and high-heat environments. A lighted female plug provides a quick visual confirmation that the circuit is live.

This extension cord is suited for outdoor use by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors who need a reliable power source away from a panel or receptacle. The 12/3 gauge construction supports tools and equipment drawing up to 15 amps on a 125-volt circuit. The SJEOW rating means the jacket is oil-resistant and suitable for wet and outdoor locations, making it appropriate for ground-level construction sites, rooftop mechanical work, and service calls where ambient conditions vary widely.

Installation Notes

This cord should be installed and used by qualified tradespeople following NEC guidelines for temporary wiring on construction sites. Inspect the jacket and plugs for damage before each use and never operate a damaged extension cord. Do not exceed the 15-amp continuous load rating, and ensure the receptacle end is kept clear of standing water even though the cord is rated for outdoor use. Disconnect power at the source before connecting or disconnecting equipment in hazardous or wet conditions.
