FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What is the difference between 2XSW, 2XSOW, 2XSAW, and 2XSAOW?
All four are 600 V weather- and water-resistant ('W') cross-linked elastomer cords: 2XSW has a weather-resistant jacket, 2XSOW adds an oil-resistant ('O') jacket, 2XSAW adds arctic ('A') -50 °C cold-flex compounds, and 2XSAOW combines arctic -50 °C flexibility with full oil and water resistance.
Can 2XSOW and 2XSAOW be used outdoors in direct sunlight and standing water?
Yes, the 'W' suffix certifies that the cross-linked elastomer jacket has passed 720-hour UV weatherometer testing and long-term +90 °C water insulation-resistance stability testing for year-round outdoor and wet-location duty. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
How do 2XSOW and 2XSAOW compare with standard SOOW portable cord?
Both are 600 V +90 °C oil- and weather-resistant thermoset cords, with 2XSOW and 2XSAOW specifically emphasizing cross-linked synthetic elastomer ('XS') formulations that resist thermal compression set and maintain elasticity down to -40 °C or -50 °C. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
When should 3XSW / 3XSOW be chosen over 2XSW / 2XSOW?
Choose 3XSW or 3XSOW for extra-hard usage environments such as heavy construction sites, shipyards, dockside cranes, and quarry generators where a thicker Class 3 outer sheath is needed to resist severe crushing and abrasion. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
