Southwire/coleman Cable 1688SW0002 50 Ft 12/3 Extension Cord

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 1688SW0002 is a 50-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, it features a lighted female plug for quick visual confirmation of a live connection. The jacket resists oils and chemicals and maintains super flexibility from -67 degrees F down to 194 degrees F, making it well suited for cold-weather job sites and industrial environments. UL Listed and compliant with OSHA specifications, this cord delivers superior abrasion resistance compared to standard SJTW cord, extending service life in demanding conditions.

This extension cord is designed for outdoor use in commercial, industrial, and contractor applications where a durable, flexible power supply is required. Electricians and general contractors reach for this cord on job sites exposed to harsh temperatures, moisture, oils, and mechanical wear. The yellow jacket provides high visibility in busy work areas, reducing trip hazards. It is appropriate for powering tools and equipment requiring up to 15 amps on 125-volt circuits in both residential construction and light industrial settings.
