Southwire Extension Cords

Shop Southwire Extension Cords at Acme Tools.

Southwire™ extension cords are essential for powering tools and jobsite lighting in tough environments like construction and industrial areas. These durable cords are built for indoor and outdoor use, making them more practical than standard indoor cords. They come in various lengths, which is helpful depending on the specific needs of a job. However, it's important to choose the right length to avoid unnecessary electrical resistance.

These extension cords can handle up to 15A of power, suitable for various uses, from simple lighting to heavy-duty equipment like air compressors and chainsaws. For high-power needs or longer distances, a thicker cord (with a lower AWG number) is recommended. For instance, a 12/3 cord is thicker and more suitable for certain tasks than a 14/3 cord.

Southwire's cords are designed with special insulation for longevity, protecting them from abrasions, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. This insulation allows the cords to stay flexible in a wide range of temperatures. When the cords are not in use, proper storage is key to maintaining their condition. These versatile cords are reliable for most power needs and come with a limited lifetime warranty, confirming their value for various professional settings.
