Additional Information
What does SOOW mean?
The letters in "SOOW" stand for cable properties. The ‘S’ in SOOW cord means “Service.” For portable cords that begin with an S but are NOT followed by a J, the voltage rating is 600 volts. The ‘OO’ means the cable has oil-resistant insulation and jacket. The ‘W’ means the cable is weather and water-resistant. Overall, SOOW cord resists oil, solvents, water, ozone, aging, and abrasion. It is also flame retardant, flexible, and durable.
What is the construction of SOOW wire and cable?
Our selection of 2 AWG to 18 AWG SOOW cord is constructed to comply with UL 62. SOOW cord features bare annealed copper conductors, EPDM insulation, thermoset CPE jackets, and paper tape separators to facilitate stripping. We also offer SOOW wire with tinned copper conductors. This SOOW cord features 18-10 AWG fully annealed stranded tinned copper conductors, EPDM insulation, and Super Vu-Tron® Supreme jacketing. This type of SOOW cord has a temperature rating of -50°C to 105°C. It also has great flexibility and flex lifespan. SOOW cord with tinned copper conductors is recommended for machine and power tools, cranes, dockside power applications, where water immersion is required, and more.
