100FT Outdoor Extension Cord 16/3 SJTW - Durable Green Cable

Our review of this 100ft outdoor extension cord finds it ideal for homeowners and decorators who need a long, weather-resistant power run for lights and outdoor equipment. The most compelling reason to buy is its combination of a thick, UV-resistant vinyl jacket and a three-prong grounded plug, which together deliver reliable, safe power outdoors without becoming stiff in cold weather. For anyone stringing Christmas lights, running a pressure washer, or extending power to a generator on a job site, this cord balances length, flexibility, and basic safety features in a single inexpensive package.

Key Features

• Durable jacket: The thick vinyl outer jacket resists moisture, abrasion and prolonged sunlight so the cord holds up to outdoor exposure.
• All-weather flexibility: Rated to remain flexible from -40F to +140F, it will not become stiff or crack in cold conditions.
• Grounded safety: The 3-prong grounded plug adds basic protection for outdoor appliances and seasonal lighting setups.
• UL listed construction: Built as a 16 gauge, 3-wire SJTW cord rated 10 amp, 125 volt and 1250 watt for common household and garden equipment.
• Concealing green color: The green cable blends into landscape and decoration setups so it is less visually intrusive for holiday lights.
• Slip resistant design: The outer surface helps reduce accidental slips and provides a better grip when handling in wet or snowy conditions.

Who It's For

This cord is best for homeowners who need a long run for outdoor lights, power tools, or seasonal decoration. It suits users who value flexibility in cold weather and a cable that blends into yards and shrubbery while providing a grounded connection for safety.

It is less appropriate for heavy industrial loads or equipment that requires higher amperage than 10 amp/1250 watt, or for users who need multiple outlets built into a single cord. For short indoor-only runs a lighter, shorter cord may be more convenient.
