Southwire 2589swca02 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can this yellow Southwire cord be left outside on a jobsite in the rain?
Yes for outdoor use. The SJTW jacket is a waterproof flexible vinyl (PVC) rated for outdoor service, and it resists moisture, abrasion and sunlight. What it is not approved for is submersion or wet-location permanent installation, and it is not a direct burial cord, so don't run it underground or leave connections sitting in standing water.
2) What plug does this Southwire 100 ft cord have, and will it work in a standard job trailer receptacle?
The plug is a NEMA 5-15P, three-prong grounded, which plugs into any standard 125V 15-amp household or jobsite receptacle. It will also seat in a 5-20R receptacle. Both the molded plug and the connector body are clear, which is what makes the lighted end readable at a glance.
3) Is this cord UL listed for commercial and institutional jobsite use?
It carries cULus listing and is CSA certified, so it satisfies the listed-cord requirement on commercial sites and in facilities that require third-party certified portable cord. The oversized molded plug is part of that listing.
4) Will this cord stay flexible in winter cold?
It is rated from -40 F up to 140 F, so cold-weather jobsite use in freezing temperatures is within spec. The PVC jacket will stiffen as it gets colder, so uncoil it rather than yanking loops loose, but the rating covers well below freezing.
5) What does the lighted end on this extension cord actually tell me?
The illuminated connector end lights when the cord is energized, so you can see from across a room or down a hall that the upstream receptacle, breaker or GFCI is live before you drag a tool to the end. On a punch list or a service call it saves a trip back to the panel to figure out whether the cord or the circuit is dead.
6) Is the 2589swca02 the same cord as Southwire 2589SW0002?
Yes, same item. 2589SW0002 is the Southwire catalog number for the 100 ft 12/3 SJTW yellow cord with lighted end, and 2589swca02 is the ordering part number for it. UPC 029892825898.
7) Why choose the high-visibility yellow jacket over a black extension cord?
Two reasons that matter on an occupied site: the yellow jacket is easier to see across a corridor or a lobby, which cuts trip hazards, and a bright cord is harder to walk off with and easier to spot when a crew packs out. Property managers and GCs working in occupied buildings generally standardize on the yellow for that reason.
8) How heavy is a 100 ft 12/3 Southwire cord to carry?
About 12.6 lb. That is real weight for one hand at the top of a ladder, so plan on a shoulder coil or a reel for repeated moves. It ships in a sleeve rather than a box.
