SO Cord

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.
