Light Duty Extension Cords

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. The industry designation is STW, so the insulation resists water.
Cords with a NEMA 14-50 plug and socket have a high current rating and are often used to power electric vehicles. The light on their socket illuminates when the cord has power. Their plug and socket have handles, making them easy to grip when plugging or unplugging them.
