SOOW Portable Power Cable | 90°C Oil-Resistant | UL 62 & CSA Certified

Product Overview

SOOW Portable Power Cable is a heavy-duty flexible cord designed for demanding industrial and commercial applications requiring exceptional durability, oil resistance, and flexibility. Featuring EPDM insulation, CPE jacket, and ASTM-compliant stranded copper conductors, this cable meets UL 62, CSA C22.2 No. 49, OSHA, and MSHA standards. Rated for 600V and 90°C operation, it is ideal for powering portable tools, machinery, and equipment in rugged environments.


Key Features

  • Oil & Abrasion Resistance: CPE outer jacket protects against oils, chemicals, and mechanical wear.

  • Flexible Design: Stranded copper conductors ensure superior bendability for portable applications.

  • High-Temperature Rating: Suitable for continuous use at 90°C in dry or damp locations.

  • Safety Compliance: UL, CSA, OSHA, and MSHA approved for industrial safety.

  • Color-Coded Insulation: EPDM insulation with color coding for easy phase identification.
