The 14 AWG 3-conductor SJOOW cord is the industrial standard for grounded, high-draw portable power. Built for professionals who require maximum reliability, this 300V-rated cord combines a heavy-duty copper core with a specialized thermoset jacket, providing the electrical capacity and physical resilience needed for the most demanding job site tools and machinery.
Why Choose 14/3 SJOOW Flexible Cord?
The 14 AWG conductors offer a robust 18-amp capacity, making this cord the go-to choice for equipment that draws significant current or features high-torque motors. The SJOOW designation identifies it as a "Junior" (300V) service cord that is fully resistant to Oil, Water, and Weather (UV). Its thermoset CPE jacket is chemically cross-linked, ensuring it will not melt, "cold flow," or deform when exposed to extreme heat or mechanical pressure.
High-Capacity Power Delivery: Ideally suited for 15A and 20A grounded circuits where the flexibility of a portable cord is required.
Ultimate Environmental Shielding: The Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) jacket is engineered to withstand constant exposure to cutting oils, solvents, and chemicals without degrading.
Supple in Extreme Cold: Rated to remain flexible in temperatures as low as -40°C, preventing the jacket brittleness and cracking that plagues standard PVC cords in winter conditions.
Safety Ground Integration: Includes a dedicated green grounding conductor to provide essential fault protection for metal-housed tools and industrial machinery.
Enhanced Flex Life: Features high-count Class K bare copper stranding, allowing the cord to endure constant coiling, vibration, and pulling without conductor fatigue.
