Question 1

What Is SJOOW Cable?

Accepted Answer

SJOOW cable is a heavy-duty, portable service cord for indoor and outdoor use. It has synthetic rubber insulation covered by a neoprene rubber jacket. The cable is a junior service cord rated for 300-volt applications. The cable may have two, three, or four cores for single and multiphase power applications. Sizes go from 18 American Wire Gauge with an ampacity of 10 amps through to 10 AWG, suitable for 30-amp power tools.

Question 2

What Are SJOOW Applications?

Accepted Answer

You can use SJOOW portable service cord for powering portable 120-volt and 240-volt single-phase power tools, appliances, small motors, and other portable tools and equipment for indoors and outdoors. It is also suitable for 208-volt three-phase applications. The portable cord's rugged rubber insulation is resistant to abrasion, dirt, oil, and water. You can use it outdoors in any weather.

Question 3

What Do the Letters SJOOW Mean?

Accepted Answer

The letters on the portable service cord indicate the type of cord and its application.  The first letter, S, shows this cord is intended for severe duty. It's tough, rugged and suitable for outdoor use on heavy construction sites and in workshops.  Because a J follows the S, this means the cord's maximum voltage is 300 volts. This is important as if there's no J or, alternatively, a V, the cord would have a 600-volt rating.  The two O letters indicate the insulation and the jacket are both made from oil-resistant materials. If there was only one O, it would mean that only the outer jacket is oil resistant. An OO designation means that even if the outer jacket is cut or damaged, you're still protected.  The final letter, W, stands for water and weather resistance, indicating protection from the sun (UV light), ozone, weathering, and water ingress.
