Special uses requiring flexibility and mechanical toughness, high environmental resistance and flame retardance. Push button remote controls. Motor control, stage equipment and lighting. Industrial control and robotic systems. Outdoor applications. Suitable and approved for submersion in water.
Construction
Flexible and tough jacket. Offers -50°C to 105°C temperature extremes. Offers excellent abrasion, ozone, sunlight, chemical and oil resistance as well as water and mold resistant non-wicking lightweight polypropylene fillers. Water resistant with high dielectric insulation. Lightweight, long lasting, easy to carry and easy to handle. All components are recyclable and non-hazardous for environmental landfill disposal. Color coded conductors for easy identification.
Standards
Federal and Military use under Federal Spec. JC-580B. UL Listed SOOW/SEOOW 600V to NEC Article 400, MSHA approval for flame resistance for mining applications.
Color Code
** Ampacity based on NEC Table 400-5(A) for sized 18/2 thru 10/4 and table 400-5 (B) for sizes 8/2 thru 2/5.
Note:
Sizes up to 10/4 are UL/CSA/MSHA, sizes 8/2 to 2/5 are non-UL constructions made with wall thicknesses in accordance with industry standards and MSHA approved.
The ampacity is provided for engineering information only. The manufacturer cannot recommend or express the use of these ampacities since the exact application may need approval from the authority having local jurisdiction. Above information is subject to engineering changes. Cold temperature rating is -50°C.
The letters in "SOOW" stａnd for cable properties. The ‘S’ in SOOW cable means “Service.” For portable cords that begin with an S but are NOT followed by a J, the voltage rating is 600 volts. The ‘OO’ means the cable has oil resistant insulation and jacketing. The ‘W’ means the cable is weather and water resistant. Overall, SOOW cable resists oil, solvents, water, ozone, aging, and abrasion. It is also flame retardant, flexible, and durable.
Our selection of 2 AWG to 18 AWG SOOW cable is constructed to comply with UL 62. SOOW cord features bare annealed copper conductors, EPDM insulation, and thermoset CPE jackets. The SOOW wires have paper tape separators to facilitate stripping.
We also offer SOOW wire with tinned copper conductors. This SOOW cord features 18-10 AWG fully annealed stranded tinned copper conductors, EPDM insulation, and Super Vu-Tron® Supreme jacketing. This type of SOOW wire has a temperature rating of -50°C to 105°C. It also has great flexibility and flex life. SOOW with tinned copper conductors is recommended for machine and power tools, cranes, dockside power applications, where water immersion is required, and more.
