Southwire Coleman Cable 2817 Gfci Extension Cord 2 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE COLEMAN CABLE 2817 is a contractor-grade GFCI extension cord built for demanding jobsite use. Rated 12/3 SJTW, it combines a 12-gauge, 3-conductor configuration with a thermoplastic-elastomer jacket rated for wet and dry locations. At 2 feet in length, this cord is designed for short-run power distribution where a built-in GFCI is required to meet code at temporary power outlets. Electricians and general contractors rely on this type of cord to protect personnel on construction sites, renovation projects, and outdoor power applications where ground-fault protection is mandated.

This cord is used in commercial and residential construction environments wherever OSHA or NEC requirements call for GFCI-protected temporary power. The 2-foot length suits panel-adjacent or outlet-adjacent setups where full-length cords would create clutter or trip hazards. The 12/3 gauge supports higher-amperage tools without voltage drop over the short run. Sold in a package quantity of 6, making it practical for outfitting multiple circuits or work areas on a single job.

Installation Notes

GFCI extension cords of this type are typically installed by licensed electricians or general contractors in compliance with NEC requirements for temporary wiring on construction sites. Before connecting or disconnecting, verify the upstream circuit is de-energized or that the GFCI device is in the tripped state. Test the GFCI function using the built-in test and reset buttons before placing the cord in service. Do not defeat or bypass the GFCI mechanism, and do not use this cord as a substitute for permanent branch-circuit wiring.
