2/5 SOOW Black Portable Power Cable 600V UL CSA

Allowable Ampacity For 2/5 SOOW Cord UL/CSA- Black: 64 Amps

Also Known As:

2/5 SOOW Portable Power Cable, 2/5 SOOW, 2/5 SOOW Power Cord, 2/5 SOOW Portable Cord, 2/5 SOOW Service Cord, 2/5 SOOW Service Cable, 2/5 SOOW Cord, 2/5 SOOW Cable, 2/5 SOOW Wire, 2/5 SOOW Flexible Power Cable, 2/5 SO Cord, 2/5 SOOW Control Cable.

Particular Applications Of 6/5 SOOW Cable:

In applications up to 36 amps, the 6/5 cable is used for:

  • Three-phase power systems with neutral and ground conductors

  • Multi-circuit industrial equipment and control systems

  • Portable power distribution for events and job sites

  • Generators supplying three-phase loads

  • HVAC systems, pumps, and motors requiring multiple conductors

  • Battery charging setups and heavy-duty tools

  • Power and signal circuits in rugged indoor or outdoor environment.

Construction:

Conductor: 

Stranded, bare, and fully soft annealed copper conductor, Class K per ASTM B174. Suitable for harsh conditions. Three hot, one neutral, one ground.

Insulation:

SOOW Cord UL/CSA has an EPDM l insulation. EPDM is an initial for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. EPDM is a synthetic rubber that has the ability to be deformed into the required shape. It is also elastic with an excellent tensile strength of about 1000 PSI (pounds per square inch). Tensile strength gives it good resistance to breaking, even under tension. It has 300% flexibility that enables it to regain its original shape and size after a stretch.

EPDM is a good insulator due to its excellent resistance to severe weather, acids, alkalis, aging, water, ozone, sunlight, and oxygen. This excellent resistance ensures the conductor remains effectively functional throughout its service life with no physical or mechanical distraction.

Jacket:

Carolprene jacket has superior mechanical strength and excellent resistance to abrasion, UV, weather, moisture, oil, acids.

Applications
SOOW is a flexible, water- and weather-resistant, portable cable built for demanding environments. Its oil-resistant jacket and EPDM insulation offer excellent protection against abrasion, chemicals, sunlight, and moisture. The cable remains intact even when exposed to hot surfaces, making it ideal for compressors, industrial machinery, push-button remotes, control systems, and water purification equipment. Commonly used in mills, marinas, mines, and industrial, commercial, and residential facilities, SOOW cable is valued for its durability and flexibility. It is rated for 600 volts and performs reliably in temperatures from -40°C to 90°C, maintaining flexibility in both hot and cold conditions.
