About Extension Cords

Find the right wire gauge based on your application, power draw, and cord length.

Extension Cords for Hazardous Locations

Power equipment in areas where flammable gases, vapors, fibers, or dust could ignite. These extension cords are often used in drilling rigs, fuel depots, and grain elevators. They have a thick jacket that protects the wires inside from tears and scrapes on rough surfaces. A cover seals the socket when not in use so flammable materials don't build up in the slots, where a spark could ignite them.

Armored Fire Alarm Cable

Unshielded

Shielded

Prevent damage to wires for fire alarm systems, smoke detectors, and other critical circuits with this armored cable. Also known as metal clad (MC) cable, the metal armor acts as a conduit to protect the wires inside. The PVC inner insulation resists flames. Its nylon jacket is low smoke, so it can be used without conduit in duct work, under raised floors, and above a drop ceiling. This cable has a ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.

Hazardous location environmental ratings indicate whether manufacturers have included safety features in products to facilitate their safe use in a hazardous environment. Before selecting a product for a hazardous location, ensure it’s rated for your environment.

Shielded—Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.
