SJOOW vs SOOW vs Type W at a Glance

Cord Type Voltage Rating Built For
SJOOW 300V Light portable tools, small equipment, pendant drops
SOOW 600V Heavy-duty tools, motors, generators, temporary power
Type W 2000V Mining, severe-duty industrial, high-amp portable power

Portable Cord That Keeps the Job Moving

Every SJOOW, SOOW, and Type W cable includes a downloadable spec sheet with ampacity ratings, construction details, jacket specifications, and available cut lengths. No gates, no forms. Download it, confirm the numbers against the job, and quote with confidence.

Choosing Between SJOOW, SOOW, and Type W

SJOOW and SOOW share the same jacket construction: service cord with oil-resistant insulation and oil-resistant jacket, weather-rated for outdoor exposure. The J in SJOOW signals junior service at 300V, covering light portable tools, pendant drops, and small equipment. Drop the J for SOOW cable and you are at 600V for motors, generators, welders, and temporary power distribution. Type W is a different class entirely: 2000V portable cord for mining, severe-duty industrial, and high-amp applications where neither 300V nor 600V cord is rated to carry the load.

Portable Cord FAQs

Does Commodity Cables include UL/CSA documentation with each shipment?

SJOOW, SOOW, and Type W portable cord from Commodity Cables is UL-listed and CSA-certified, with compliance markings printed on the jacket. Spec sheets on each product page include the listings for your records. Need documentation for an inspector? Download it from the product page or request it with your quote.

Can I drop down to SJOOW on a 300V circuit to save cost, and what do I give up?

If the circuit does not exceed 300V, SJOOW covers the voltage requirement. The tradeoff is jacket thickness and durability: SOOW has a heavier jacket wall, better abrasion resistance, and handles higher-amperage loads. On a clean indoor drop with minimal mechanical abuse, SJOOW saves money without issue. On a jobsite where the cord gets dragged, stepped on, or soaked in oil, spending up to SOOW pays for itself in longevity.
