Cold weather 30a extension?

For you DIYers, I have found the best place to buy portable cordage and wire in general is https://www.wireandcableyourway.com/

They have SJEOOW, same temp range as Polar (-50ºC to +105ºC) and stranding (104/30) and only $1.07 plus shipping.

Not turning anything up on the Amazon.

Do not know what SJEOW means but I got my cold and I mean COLD weather 30 amp extender at General RV.. THe thing that stood out is the color. NOT black. 13 years later I need to put a new outlet end on it.. So it's wound up in my RV waiting for me to get to the parts store again (part is waiting there) the thing is wound about the same size as those new steel wrapped garden hoses are when still banded to the card. That is one tight coil. it was cold when I wound it.

Looks like good stuff (high strand count = maximum flexibility).

WHERE CAN YOU BUY IT !


EDIT : They sell it on their web site, but OMG ! $2.41/foot !!

Will SJTW work, just don't dump oil on it.

I always thought the SJOOW was more flexible, especially in cold weather. (SOOW is much thicker because it is designed for up to 600V operation.)

This is the spec you want!

SEOOW wire usable to -55 c

Make up with your own ends.

Looking like roll my own is the answer. Anyone seen a good deal on 10/3 or 8/3 cold weather cable?

Make your own. The Cameco Male plugs are OK, but for female I'd use the Progressive ones.

Mine's an SJTW yellow jacket 10/3. It's been outside 24/7 for probably 10 years now and still does fine.

how much can you bend it in 0F degree weather? SJTW is suppose to be pretty rigid at that temp and makes coiling difficult

I've never noticed it to be difficult, but it's generally just laying on the ground here in not so cold California. It's my hookup line in the yard from the garage to the trailer.

Probably need to roll your own. For premium ends look at PI:
