Defender Cable 10/3 Gauge 50 ft SJTW Heavy Duty Contractor Grade Extension Cord with Lighted End

SJTW: What Does It Mean? S stands for "hard service cord," J indicates a "junior cable" rated at 300 VAC, T means "thermoplastic insulation" resistant to heat, moisture, and chemicals for temperatures from -40°F to 130°F, and W denotes "Weather Resistant." Designed to withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions, SJTW extension cords are suitable for use in environments where the cord may be exposed to water, snow, or other harsh elements.

Durable, Reliable, and Weather-Resistant SJTW stands for "Service Junior Thermoplastic Weather-Resistant," which describes the construction of the cord. These extension cords are often more durable and reliable than standard indoor cords, providing extra protection against wear and tear and potential electrical hazards. As a type of extension cord designed for outdoor use, SJTW cords offer enhanced weather resistance.

Gauge Matters SJTW does not indicate the gauge of the cord. It's important to match the gauge of the cord to the power demands of the equipment you're using. (see chart below)
