Portable Cords

SOOWSOOW 600 V Portable Cord

SOOW is an extra-hard-usage flexible portable cord for industrial equipment, tools, generators, and temporary power. Common constructions combine Class K flexible stranded copper conductors, heat-, moisture-, and oil-resistant EPDM insulation, and a durable oil-resistant CPE outer jacket in a round, normally unshielded build. The two O letters indicate oil-resistant insulation and jacket, and W identifies applicable wet-location and outdoor service. A -40°C to +90°C marking is common, with 105°C variants available on qualifying products. Exact AWG range, conductor count, dimensions, ampacity, and UL, CSA, FT, or MSHA markings are confirmed against the selected part number.

Before you quote

Clear the questions that hold up your quote.

Short answers for engineering and procurement. The reviewed quotation and its document list govern the final supply scope.

What is SOOW cable?

SOOW is a North American 600 V flexible service cord with oil-resistant insulation, an oil-resistant jacket, and wet-location and outdoor suitability under the applicable listing and marking.

What do the letters SOOW mean?

S identifies the service-cord family, the two O letters indicate oil resistance of both insulation and jacket, and W indicates applicable wet-location and outdoor use.

What is the minimum order quantity?

MOQ depends on conductor size, construction, production batch, and reel length. Send the required size and total length; the quotation will state the applicable minimum quantity and packaging basis.

How quickly can the cable be delivered?

Lead time varies with material availability, construction, quantity, document scope, and destination. After the specification is reviewed, the quotation will provide a production window and an indicative shipment schedule.

How are destination-market standards and documents reviewed?

Tell us the destination market, governing standard, and end-user document requirements. They are reviewed against the selected product and available product documents; applicability is confirmed in the quotation.

Can length, sheath colour, printing, or packaging be customized?

These options can be reviewed subject to engineering suitability, regulatory requirements, MOQ, and production capability. Any approved change is recorded in the quoted specification, drawing, or order document.
