Stepping up in capacity for more robust portable power needs, this 16 AWG 2-conductor SJOOW cord provides the perfect balance of increased ampacity and compact flexibility. Built to survive the most punishing industrial environments, this 300V-rated cord features a specialized thermoset jacket that provides ultimate resistance to oils, chemicals, and physical abrasion.
The 16 AWG gauge offers a significant increase in current-carrying capacity over 18 AWG, making it the industry standard for mid-sized portable equipment and heavy-duty control signals. The SJOOW designation ensures the cord is "Junior" rated (300V) and fully resistant to Oil, Water, and Weather (UV). Because it utilizes a thermoset jacket, it will not "cold flow" under pressure or melt when exposed to high-heat equipment.
Heavy-Duty Oil & Chemical Resistance: The premium CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene) jacket is specifically engineered to maintain its integrity when in constant contact with cutting oils, lubricants, and harsh solvents.
All-Weather Reliability: Rated for extreme temperatures from -40°C to +90°C, ensuring the cord remains supple for coiling in freezing conditions and won't degrade in high-ambient heat.
Enhanced Conductor Stranding: Features high-count Class K bare copper stranding, providing the superior "bend-life" necessary for equipment that is frequently moved or subject to constant vibration.
MSHA Approved: Meets Mine Safety and Health Administration requirements, certifying it for the toughest underground and surface mining applications.
Conductor Size: 16 AWG
Number of Conductors: 2
Color Code: Black, White
Ampacity: 13 Amps (Based on NEC Table 400.5(A)(1))
Voltage Rating: 300V
Jacket Material: Premium Grade Thermoset CPE (Black)
Insulation: Oil-Resistant EPDM
Conductor Material: Fully Annealed Stranded Bare Copper (Class K)
Standards: UL 62, CSA C22.2 No. 49, MSHA, RoHS Compliant
Mid-Sized Portable Power Tools: Ideal for industrial saws, larger drills, and portable grinders where 18 AWG is insufficient.
Control and Signal Circuits: Frequently used for wiring heavy-duty limit switches, solenoid valves, and industrial sensors.
Portable Lighting Systems: The preferred choice for temporary job site string lighting and high-intensity work lamps.
Commercial Kitchen & Maintenance: Perfectly suited for commercial food processors, large vacuum cleaners, and floor scrubbers.
Technical Note: All values are nominal and subject to industry tolerances and manufacturer corrections. Specifications are subject to change without notice. It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify that all materials meet the specific requirements of the project and comply with local electrical codes.

This 16 AWG, 2-conductor portable cord is the "medium-duty" step up from standard 18-gauge wire, offering a higher amperage capacity for more demanding equipment. It is the go-to choice for heavy-duty portable lighting, power tools, and small motors. Because it provides a balance of high flexibility and increased power delivery, it is frequently used for floor scrubbers, commercial vacuum cleaners, and signal-control systems in industrial plants where a ground is not required by the device.
The SJOOW rating defines the specific resilience and electrical limits of the cable:
This cord is rated for 13 Amps per conductor. This rating is based on an ambient temperature of 30°C (86°F) per NEC standards for 2-conductor assemblies.
While 18 AWG is for light electronics, 16 AWG copper provides lower resistance for tools that draw more current.
16/2 SJOOW is built to withstand the "daily grind" of industrial and automotive environments:
This cord contains two color-coded, insulated conductors:
The primary difference is the voltage rating:
(833) 268-8644
