- Can this cord be used outdoors?
- Yes. The SJTW jacket is rated for indoor or outdoor use and stays flexible down to -20 °F. It has no GFCI, so plug it into a GFCI-protected outlet for outdoor work.
- How much power can it carry?
- It is rated 15 amps, 125 volts and 1875 watts total across the three outlets. That is enough for lights, chargers and most hand tools, but not for high-draw equipment like large heaters or compressors.
- Does it have three outlets or three plugs?
- One NEMA 5-15P plug goes into the wall, and the other end has three NEMA 5-15R receptacles. All three share the same 15-amp limit.
- Is it safe for wet locations?
- It is outdoor rated, but it is not GFCI protected and is not a waterproof connection point. Keep plugs off the ground and use a GFCI outlet or an in-line GFCI adapter near water.
- What is the difference between 14/3 and 12/3 cord?
- 14/3 has three 14-gauge conductors and handles 15 amps. 12/3 is thicker, heavier and handles 20 amps on a 20-amp circuit. This cord is the lighter option for general use.
- Does the power light use electricity?
- The indicator light draws a negligible amount and only shows the cord is receiving power. It does not protect against overloads.
