What Portable Cord Cables Are

Portable cord cables are flexible, multi-conductor electrical cables designed to deliver power to movable, temporary, or portable equipment. Unlike fixed building wiring, portable cords are engineered to withstand frequent flexing, abrasion, vibration, and exposure to harsh environments, making them essential in industrial, commercial, and temporary power applications.

MOST PURCHASED Portable Cord CABLES

Advantages

  • Designed for temporary and mobile power
  • Withstands harsh industrial environments
  • Safer for portable equipment than rigid wiring
  • Easy to install, coil, store, and reuse
  • Available in many gauges and conductor counts

Limitations

Not permitted as permanent building wiring
Must be correctly selected for:
  • Voltage
  • Amperage
  • Environment (oil, water, UV)
Longer lengths may require larger gauge to prevent voltage drop
Heavier-duty cords are bulkier and less flexible
