Southwire Outdoor Extension Cord, 50-Feet, Black

Southwire, a renowned manufacturer of tools and equipment for electricians, has a long history of developing and distributing innovative products. The Southwire X-TREME BOX, sometimes referred to as a "spider box," is a portable power distribution center that allows for efficient temporary power delivery to job sites.

The Southwire 019703R02 is a single-phase electrical distribution box that takes a 50-amp, 125/250-volt, 12,000-watt input and distributes it to 6 NEMA 5-20 straight-blade receptacles (each rated for 2,500-5,000 watts) and 1 NEMA L6-30 twist-lock receptacle (rated for 7,500 watts). All outlets are circuit-breaker protected and feature independent GFCI modules on the 20-amp outlets. Additionally, the box includes a 50-amp pass-through for running additional portable power distribution boxes in series.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the Extreme Box features a weather-resistant construction with a reinforced sled base and heavy-gauge carbon steel body, ensuring exceptional durability. This portable power distribution unit provides a quick and simple way to deliver power in a variety of settings, from industrial and residential job sites to convention centers, fairs, and campsites.

Complementing the Extreme Box, Southwire and Coleman Cable offer a range of extension cords and adapters to support disaster recovery, restoration, renovation, and maintenance projects requiring temporary, portable power. The Coleman Cable 1918 50-Amp Twist-Lock Generator Power Extension Cord, for instance, is a 50-foot, 6/3 and 8/1 SEOW cable with a 50-amp California-style CS63 twist-lock plug and connector.

This extension cord is designed to withstand harsh environments, featuring a custom-blended jacket material for superior flexibility and chemical and abrasion resistance. It allows emergency response teams and contractors to convert dryer, range, or generator outlets into usable 125-volt power for larger equipment or temporary power distribution boxes.

When natural disasters or other emergencies disrupt power infrastructure, the ability to utilize electrical equipment in remote areas is crucial for emergency response, building recovery, and restoration efforts. Southwire and Coleman Cable's products offer a reliable and versatile solution to address these challenges, ensuring that essential power is available when and where it's needed most.

In summary, Southwire's X-TREME BOX and the accompanying extension cords from Coleman Cable provide a comprehensive solution for temporary power distribution, enabling safe and efficient power delivery in a variety of work environments, particularly during disaster recovery and restoration operations.
