Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 2883 is a 25-foot, 12/3 SJTW heavy-duty contractor extension cord built for demanding jobsite use. Rated at 15 amps, 125 volts, and 1,875 watts, it is constructed with all-copper conductors throughout. The cord features three outlets at the female end, giving tradespeople the ability to power multiple tools or devices from a single run. A lighted end indicator confirms that power is live and the cord is ready for use. The bright yellow jacket increases visibility on busy job sites and helps reduce the chance of accidental damage, loss, or theft.

The 2883 is suited for residential and commercial construction sites where reliable, high-capacity temporary power is needed. Electricians, general contractors, and tradespeople use this cord to power heavy-duty tools including saws, compressors, drills, and other equipment rated up to 15 amps. The 12/3 gauge all-copper wiring handles sustained loads without excessive voltage drop over the 25-foot run. The SJTW jacket rating makes it appropriate for outdoor and indoor use in moderate environments.

Installation Notes

This cord should be installed and used by qualified tradespeople familiar with OSHA and NEC temporary power guidelines. Inspect the cord for cuts, abrasions, or damaged insulation before each use and do not operate with a damaged jacket. Do not exceed the 15-amp rating by daisy-chaining additional extension cords or overloading the outlets. Store loosely coiled to prevent heat buildup and conductor fatigue.
