This 18 AWG, 3-conductor portable cord is the standard choice for grounding-type light-duty electrical equipment. It is most frequently used for powering portable tools, small appliances, and shop lights, as well as for OEM power supply cords on consumer electronics. Because it includes a dedicated grounding conductor, it is the safe choice for any equipment with a metal housing that requires protection against electrical shock.
The SJOOW label identifies the cord's specific construction and environmental durability:
This cord is rated for 10 Amps per conductor. This rating is based on an ambient temperature of 30°C (86°F) per NEC standards for 3-conductor assemblies.
Yes. The "W" rating indicates the cord is water and weather-resistant, meaning it is designed to hold up against rain, sunlight, and outdoor temperature fluctuations.
Following the standard North American color code for 120V power, the three conductors are identified as:
18/3 SJOOW is designed for "Hard Service," meaning it can survive conditions that would destroy standard plastic extension cords:
Standard extension cords (often made with PVC or SJT jackets) stiffen in the cold and melt when exposed to oils or heat. SJOOW uses rubber-based materials that maintain their flexibility and chemical resistance, making them the only choice for professional/industrial use.
