Southwire 24878804 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this red Southwire SJTW cord safe to leave outside in the rain or in freezing weather?
It is an outdoor-rated SJTW cord with a PVC jacket, and the temperature range runs -40 F to 140 F (-40 C to 60 C), so winter jobsite use is fine. Two limits worth knowing: it is not rated for wet location use, meaning it should not sit in standing water or be used as permanent wiring in a wet location, and it is not rated for direct burial. Keep connections up off wet ground.
2) Will the plug on the Southwire 24878804 fit a standard grounded wall receptacle?
The plug is a NEMA 5-15P three-prong, which is the standard 125V 15-amp grounded configuration found on normal building receptacles. The cord is grounded, so the ground path carries through to the single outlet on the far end. It will also seat in a 5-20R receptacle.
3) Is this cord UL listed and CSA approved for use in a commercial facility?
The 24878804 carries cULus listing and is CSA certified, so it is accepted on both sides of the border. Note that it is not rated flame retardant, which matters if your facility spec calls for a flame-retardant cord set.
4) Can I use this cord to feed a space heater or a window AC in a rented unit?
Only inside its 15-amp, 1875-watt limit, and only as temporary power. A typical 1500-watt portable heater fits under that, but the cord has a single outlet, so nothing else can share it. It is not permanent wiring and it is not rated for wet location use or burial, so it should not be run through walls, under carpet, or left as a fixed supply.
5) What does the lighted end on this extension cord actually do?
The receptacle end has an indicator that glows when the cord is energized. On a jobsite or a tenant unit that tells you at a glance whether the circuit is live before you drag a tool over, and it flags a tripped breaker or a pulled plug at the other end of a 25-foot run. The plug and receptacle housings are clear so the light reads easily.
6) Does the bright red jacket serve a purpose or is it just color?
Red is a loss-and-theft measure plus a trip-hazard cue. On a multi-trade site a red cord is easy to identify as yours and easy to spot across a floor, and the vinyl jacket is built to take moisture, abrasion and sun exposure. The molded plug is oversized so it resists the bending and cracking that kills cords yanked out by the cable.
