Southwire Coleman Cable 2549SWUSA1 12/3 Extension Cord 100 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE COLEMAN CABLE 2549SWUSA1 is a heavy-duty 12/3 extension cord rated for both indoor and outdoor use. Measuring 100 feet in length, it carries a 12 AWG, 3-conductor construction suited for powering tools, equipment, and appliances on job sites or at outdoor work locations. The cord features a red, white, and blue striped jacket, associated with the Wounded Warrior Project. Electricians, contractors, and trade professionals reach for 12/3 cords when circuits demand lower voltage drop over longer runs and when connected loads require the current capacity that thinner gauges cannot safely handle.

This extension cord is well suited for residential and light commercial job sites where a long reach is required from the nearest outlet. Typical applications include powering circular saws, drills, compressors, and similar motor-driven tools at distances where a shorter cord would create a hazard or an inconvenient setup. The 100-foot length covers most exterior work scenarios, scaffold setups, and garage or workshop configurations where the load is positioned well away from the supply receptacle.

Key Features

• 12 AWG, 3-conductor (12/3) construction supports higher-current loads over 100 feet
• Rated for indoor and outdoor use
• Red, white, and blue striped jacket for easy identification on the job site
• 100-foot length reduces the need for cord daisy-chaining
• Sold in packages of 4 units

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose indoor/outdoor extension cord compatible with standard 3-prong grounded outlets and plugs used in residential and commercial electrical applications.

Installation Notes

Extension cords of this gauge and length should be fully uncoiled before use to prevent heat buildup from inductive coiling under load. Inspect the cord jacket and plug blades before each use and remove from service if insulation damage is found. Never exceed the cord's rated ampacity for the connected load, and follow NEC guidelines when using extension cords in temporary wiring applications on job sites.
