- What does 14/3 SJTW mean?
- 14/3 means 14-gauge wire with three conductors, including a ground. SJTW is a vinyl jacket rated for outdoor use, water, oil and cold-weather flexibility.
- Can it run a table saw or air compressor?
- Only if the tool draws 15 amps or less. Many table saws and compressors need 20-amp circuits, so check the tool's rating before using this cord.
- Is it safe in rain and snow?
- The jacket and molded ends are made for outdoor use, but keep the plug connections off wet ground and out of standing water.
- How does it compare with a 12/3 cord?
- A 12/3 cord carries 20 amps and is heavier and stiffer. This 14/3 cord is lighter and easier to handle but limited to 15-amp loads.
- Does it have a lighted end?
- No. The ends are plain molded connectors, so there is no indicator light to show the cord is powered.
