Southwire Coleman Cable 2887 Extension Cord 15A 14AWG 50ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 2887 is a 50-foot, 14 AWG, 15-amp heavy-duty extension cord from the Yellow Jacket product line. Designed for demanding jobsite and trade applications, this cord handles high-current loads with a robust, oversized molded plug construction. The lighted plug indicator glows when the cord is energized, giving technicians and installers an immediate visual confirmation of live power without needing a separate tester. The extra-heavy construction and clear molded plugs are built to withstand repeated use, rough handling, and exposure to typical jobsite conditions. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals will find this cord a reliable temporary-power solution.

The 2887 is suited for residential and light commercial jobsite use where a 15-amp, 120-volt circuit is available. Its 50-foot length provides practical reach for equipment staging, power tool operation, and temporary lighting setups. The 14 AWG conductor sizing supports the full 15-amp rating across the cord's length, minimizing voltage drop on motor-driven tools and equipment. This cord is appropriate wherever a durable, lighted-plug extension cord is needed to safely extend a standard 15-amp outlet.

Key Features

• Lighted plug indicator glows when cord is energized for immediate power confirmation
• 14 AWG conductors rated for 15 amps, reducing voltage drop over 50-foot runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 15-amp, 120-volt extension cord compatible with equipment and tools using a standard NEMA 5-15 plug and receptacle configuration on 15-amp circuits.

Installation Notes

This extension cord should be installed and used by qualified tradespeople following applicable NEC guidelines for temporary wiring. Always verify the connected load does not exceed the cord's 15-amp rating. Do not use a damaged, cut, or repaired cord, and do not coil the cord tightly during extended use under load, as heat buildup can occur. Disconnect the cord from the outlet before connecting or disconnecting equipment.
