Flexible Portable Cord - SOOW, SJOOW, SEOOW & SJEOOW Type W

Contact: 1-800-633-0405 | Visit: AutomationDirect.com

Overview

Use AutomationDirect's Flexible Portable Cord for temporary or portable power applications in industrial, OEM, utility, and commercial environments. Portable cord is a great solution for ceiling drops, mobile machinery power supplies, pendants, and lighting. Applications include factory floor, mining, and heavy construction. Our cord is highly flexible and suitable for harsh conditions, including temperature extremes, and is resistant to oil and chemicals that are common in the industrial environment.

AutomationDirect offers a wide range of portable cord types with jacket materials like CPE (chlorinated polyethylene elastomers), thermoset rubber or TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), and insulation types of Ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber. The combinations of these jackets and insulation types meet the requirement for "Extra-Hard Use" (SOOW & SEOOW) or "Hard Use" (SJOOW & SJEOOW) applications and carry the appropriate UL, CSA or MSHA ratings so they can be trusted to work in the harshest environments.

You should feel confident that AutomationDirect's Portable Cord meets or exceeds all the requirements to make it UL & CSA Listed and complies with NFPA 70 Articles 400 & 501.140 (Haz-Loc) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
