Key Features

• Waterproof switch: The on/off switch is sealed against moisture so users can operate outdoor lights and equipment without exposing the control to rain.
• UL listed safety: Rated 15A/125VAC/1875W and listed for outdoor use, the cord offers a recognized safety standard for typical household equipment.
• SJTW construction: The flexible vinyl cord sheath resists outdoor wear while remaining pliable enough to uncoil and route easily around a yard or deck.
• Durable connectors: The reinforced plug and connector housing are designed to withstand repeated outdoor use and handling.
• Plug and play: Simple to use - plug the male end into an outlet, plug equipment into the female end, and toggle the switch to control power.
• Versatile length: At about 25 ft the cord reaches fixtures a short distance from outlets without excessive slack or the need for additional extensions.

Who It's For

This extension cord is ideal for homeowners and renters who install holiday lights, string lights, small water pumps or patio fountains, and anyone who wants a convenient inline switch outdoors. The waterproof switch makes it useful for seasonal lighting on porches, decks, and garden areas where a weather-resistant control point reduces trips inside.

It is not intended for heavy industrial equipment or continuous high-load devices beyond the listed 15A/125VAC/1875W rating. Also, users who need fully watertight connections at the plugs should add a separate weatherproof outlet cover, since the cord ends themselves are not sealed.
