SO Cord
SO cord is a cable with multiple conductors manufactured for the purpose of electrical power connections requiring flexibility. So cord is a multi-conductor power cable which can be operated both inside and outside environments. Common applications include wiring for industrial machinery, enormous appliances, heavy-duty tools, motors, and temporary electrical power and lighting for construction sites. SO cord is incredibly adaptable, making it the most prominent electrical cord available. The contrasting types of rubber or plastic jackets enclosing the multi-conductors give you options for choosing the cord that will be the safest and most cost-effective option for your project.
Please note that SO and SOW have been superseded by SOOW. SOOW has both an oil-resistant insulation and an oil-resistant outer jacket while SO and SOW have only an oil resistant outer jacket. Any SOW or SO Cord parts entered for RFQs will be quoted as SOOW.
SO Cord Description: SO Cord features stranded bare copper conductor, separator, CPE Rubber or EPR insulation, suitable fillers, separator, and CPE jacket. SO Cord have a temperature range of -40°C to + 60°C.
Applications: SO Cord is designed for use in portable tools and equipment. SO Cord may also be used for portable appliances, small motors, and associated machinery.
Portable Cord Features: SO Cord features excellent resistance to oil and moisture, good tensile strength, elongation and aging characteristics, high flexibility, excellent abrasion resistance. SO Cord is water-resistant, UL listed and CSA certified for indoor and outdoor use.
