About Extension Cords

Extension Cords

The insulation on these cords resists water, so they can be used outdoors.

Extension Cords for Harsh Environments

The insulation resists water, oil, and chemicals, so these cords withstand dirty and greasy environments.

Light Duty Extension Cords

Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power appliances.

Abrasion-Resistant Extension
Cords for Harsh Environments

Run these cords through high-traffic areas that are dirty and greasy. They have a thick insulation that resists water, oil, and chemicals, and protects against abrasion.

Abrasion-Resistant Extension Cords

Thick insulation protects the internal wires of these cords, so they can be used in high-traffic areas and over rough surfaces.

Extension Cords for Hazardous Locations

Use these cords where ignitable gas and dust may be present. They're CSA certified for Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups B, C, and D; and Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups F and G hazardous environments.

Multi-Outlet Extension Cords for Harsh Environments

Insulated to resist water, oil, and solvents, these cords withstand dirty and greasy environments.

Multi-Outlet Extension Cords

Power multiple devices with one extension cord.

Abrasion-Resistant Multi-Outlet Extension Cords

Thick insulation protects the internal wires of these cords, so they can be used in high-traffic areas and over rough surfaces.

Light Duty Multi-Outlet Extension Cords

Designed for indoor use, these cords are often used to power appliances.

Extension Cords with Inline Outlets

In addition to an outlet on the end, these cords have multiple inline outlets.

GFCI Extension Cords

Keep personnel safe from electric shock with these cords.

Coiled Extension Cords

These self-coiling cords return to their retracted length after stretching for tangle-free storage.

Locking Extension Cords

A locking lever on the female socket prevents your device from disconnecting.

Sure-Grip Extension Cords

Also known as hospital-grade cords, these have extra-tight connections to prevent them from detaching. The connectors are marked with a green dot.

Extension Cord Adapters

Change the connection style between an outlet and your equipment.

Extension Cord Splitters

Attach these splitters to an extension cord to power multiple devices from one cord.

Turn-Lock Extension Cords

GFCI Turn-Lock Extension Cords

Keep personnel safe from electric shock with these cords.

Turn-Lock Extension Cords for Harsh Environments

These cords have an oil- and water-resistant insulation and impact-resistant connectors for protection in harsh environments.

Abrasion-Resistant Turn-Lock Extension Cords

Thick insulation protects the internal wires of these cords, so they can be used in high-traffic areas and over rough surfaces.

Turn-Lock Extension Cords

Give the connectors on these cords a quarter turn to lock in place.

Power Cord Reels

Automatic-Wind Cord Reels

A ratchet holds the extension cord on these reels in place at any length; a quick pull releases the cord and the spring-driven winding mechanism retracts it.

Impact-Resistant Automatic-Wind Cord Reels

Made of impact-resistant plastic, these reels are more durable than other automatic-wind cord reels.

Hardwire Washdown Automatic-Wind Cord Reels

Connect the wires in your power cord to these reels for a permanent and protected connection—the screw terminals are in a gasketed dust- and water-resistant NEMA 4 enclosure.

Harsh Environment Automatic-Wind Cord Reels

Intended for demanding applications, these reels include an oil- and water-resistant extension cord.

Hazardous Location Automatic-Wind Cord Reels

Use these cord reels where ignitable gas and dust may be present. They're rated NEMA 4 and UL listed for Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups C and D; and Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups F and G hazardous environments.

Controlled-Automatic-Wind Cord Reels

Controlled winding prevents the cord from whipping at the end, making winding safer and extending the life of the cord and reel.

Light Duty Manual-Wind Cord Reels

Manual-Wind Cord Reels

A steel stand makes these reels more rugged than light duty cord reels.

Water-Resistant Manual-Wind Cord Reels

The outlets have covers to keep out water and dust when not in use.

Cord Reels with Outlets

Plug a cord into these reels.

Hardwire Cord Reels with Outlets

Attach the wires in a power cord to these reels for a permanent connection.

Cord Storage Reels

Store and transport cords.

Electronic Equipment Cord Splitters

Power multiple devices from one power source.

Cable Support Grips

Single-Loop Cable Support Grips

These grips are galvanized steel for good corrosion resistance.

Corrosion-Resistant Single-Loop Cable Support Grips

Made of stainless steel, these grips have excellent corrosion resistance.

Self-Tightening Cable Support Grips

The loops tighten by the weight of your cable or by manual adjustment. These grips are often wrapped around a beam or pipe.

Corrosion-Resistant Double-Loop Cable Support Grips

Made of stainless steel, these grips have excellent corrosion resistance.

Double-Loop Cable Support Grips

These are tin-plated bronze.

Corrosion-Resistant Mid-Cable Support Grips

Made of stainless steel, these grips have excellent corrosion resistance.

Mid-Cable Support Grips

These are tin-plated bronze.
