Outdoor power cords and outdoor power cables at Cables.com

Investing in high-quality outdoor power cables is essential.

Outdoor Cables, Power Cables, Power Cords


It's easy to assume that one extension cable is just as good as another, but it's important to think about where your cable will be used and what kind of stress it might face. An extension cord that isn't rated specifically for outdoor use can hurt you or damage your electronic devices.  Let's take a look at what makes a good extension cable outdoor-rated, and what Cables.com has to offer. 

When it comes to powering outdoor equipment, the quality of your power cables matters more than you might think. Outdoor environments present unique challenges - exposure to extreme temperatures, UV rays, moisture, and potential physical damage can compromise the performance and safety of poorly made cables. That’s why investing in high-quality outdoor power cables is essential.

Durable outdoor cables are designed to withstand harsh conditions without degrading. This ensures uninterrupted power delivery to critical equipment like outdoor lighting, electric tools, or seasonal decorations. High-quality cables also reduce the risk of electrical malfunctions, overheating, and shorts, safeguarding both your equipment and your property.

At Cables.com, we take pride in offering U.S.-manufactured outdoor power cables engineered for reliability and longevity. Our cables are crafted to meet stringent safety standards and provide consistent performance in demanding environments. Whether you’re setting up an outdoor event, powering a construction site, or simply upgrading your home’s exterior lighting, quality cables make all the difference.

Don’t let inferior cables jeopardize your projects. Choose premium outdoor power cables from Cables.com for peace of mind and superior results every time. Your outdoor power solutions deserve nothing less than the best.

Buying Outdoor Extension Cables

A reliable outdoor extension cord will be resistant to the elements, as well as any disturbances that might be caused by pests or weather events. Cables.com stocks a variety of high quality extension cables meant to withstand exposure to rain or shine. This means cables that are manufactured from quality wire and strong, sturdy jacket material that won't fray or break down easily. 

A good example of this is our SJTW Outdoor-rated extension cable. SJTW cables are considered "hard service" cables with weather-resistant thermoplastic jackets. That makes this cord ideal for running in your backyard, or outside of an office building. This heavy duty 14 awg cable features a 15 amp jacket with a molded 5-15 plug and receptacle. It's UL-listed, which means it's passed rigorous testing by Underwriter Laboratories and meets nationally recognized standards of sustainability and safety.

Our 16 awg 3 conductor indoor/outdoor extension cable is suitable for use both inside and outside of your home or facility, with a NEMA 5-15P connector on one end and a NEMA 5-15R connector on the other. This cable is rated for 250 volts and is available for an excellent price.

Our 14/3 Outdoor Extension Cord comes with a lifetime warranty and is constructed with SJTW wire. We also offer an SJTOW 14/3 Contractor Extension Cable with indicator light, a Prime Bulldog Tough extension cord with a PRIMELIGHT neon lamp embedded in the female connector intended to let you know when the power is connected. 

Water-Resistant Outdoor Power Cables

Watertight power cord sets are available for use in virtually any situation where cords need to be connected to equipment that is outside or subject to wet conditions such as water leaks, rain, snow, and flooding. In some situations, such as outdoor lighting or agricultural irrigation an outlet is desired that isn't dependent on a building for protection from moisture. In other scenarios, simply running a power cord through damp soil or snow can cause damage to the cord. In either case, a watertight power cord provides peace of mind and an extra level of protection against moisture-related problems.

An outdoor power cord like our L6-20 Watertight Extension Cable, for example, is rated for 20 amps and 250 volts. Manufactured explicitly for use outdoors, it's sure to hold up even in dire weather.

However, if you’re looking for something that can take a little more power, consider sizing up to an L5-20 extension cable rated for 20 amps, capable of handling 250V and available between six and 100 feet in length on Cables.com. If it’s an L5-30 watertight power cord you need for the job, you can stay right here for a solid extension cord just as resistant to oil, water, and dirt as the others you’ll find on Cables.com. For 30A and 250V between six and a hundred feet in length, capable of withstanding the worst weather your patio can throw at you, you won’t find a better deal.
