Extension Cords & Cables

Extension cords and cables provide the most convenient way to deliver electricity to any electrical devices in your house, garage, and outdoors. There are plenty of extension cords and cables out there, and it is sometimes difficult to understand which one you should use. Mostly, people use one and the same cord for everything which is not always safe for the wires carrying the flow, the outlet, or the machine / device itself.

An extension cord is an insulated and flexible power wire that delivers electricity, with a plug on one end and an outlet or several outlets (their type usually coincides with that of the plug) on its other end. Extension cable is somewhat different from extension cord because it is thicker. Thus, what we find among industrial large gear can only be named a cable. Both extension cords and cables have minimum two wires: a positively charged wire for carrying the electric current and a neutrally charged wire that completes the loop. Also, there often is the third wire in a cord or cable which serves as a ground wire.

When choosing an extension cord or cable, the first factor you should consider is the environment where you need to use it, i. e., indoors or outdoors. All the cords and cables you purchase here have the corresponding script on them.
