About Industry Designation for Cable Insulation
More
Power Cords
Cords with a 90° elbow plug fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.
SVT cords are ultra-flexible and as pliable as vacuum cleaner cords. They withstand repeated winding.
SJEOW cords have an oil- and water-resistant insulation.
The insulation on SJTW cords resists water.
Use SJT cords in dry or damp locations.

Light Duty Power Cords
Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power appliances.
SPT cords have a flat cord shape so they fit in tight spaces. The numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the relative thickness of the insulation. SPT-3 is the thickest, so it is less flexible but more durable than -1 and -2 cords.
Use SJT cords in dry or damp locations.
