The Southwire 2548SWUSA1 is a 50-foot contractor-grade extension cord in SJTW, 12-gauge, 3-conductor construction with a red, white, and blue striped jacket and a lighted plug end. It is UL listed and cUL listed.
12-gauge wire carries the current that most corded tools draw across a 50-foot run without the voltage drop thinner cords suffer. The flexible vinyl jacket is rated for outdoor use and resists moisture, abrasion, and sunlight, so the cord can live on a jobsite instead of a clean shop bench. The reinforced blades on the plug head resist bending under the kind of yank a cord takes when it gets pulled from under a tool or out of an outlet. The lighted end glows when power is on, which flags a tripped breaker quickly.
This cord is intended for jobsites, workshops, and warehouses — corded saws, drills, grinders, inflators, pressure washers, and worklights.
Southwire manufactures this cord in America and stripes it in the U.S. flag colors; the SKU itself carries the USA1 designation.
