SJ/SJO/SJOOW/SOOW Cable Structure
1. Insulation: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) or EP compound
2. Jacket: rubber or CPE or CP compound
3. Voltage: 300 Volt
4. -40ºC to +90ºC
5. 90ºC 300 Volt UL /CSA Portable Cord
6. Excellent resistance to oil and moisture Good tensile strength, elongation and aging characteristics High flexibility Excellent abrasion resistance Water-resistant UL Listed and CSA Certified for indoor and outdoor use.SJ, SJO, and SJOW have all been superseded by SJOOW. Any SJ, SJO and SJOW RFQs will be quoted as SJOOW Cable.
What’s mean the ‘S’ ‘J’ ‘O’ ‘OO’
The ‘S’ and ‘J’ letters in each of these types mean that they are ‘J’unior ‘S’ervice. Junior service simply means that the voltage rating of the cord is 300 volts. A single ‘O’ designates an oil resistant outer jacket, while the double ‘OO’ stands for oil-resistant insulation and an oil-resistant outer jacket. Finally, the ‘W’ stands for weather and water-resistant and is CSA approved for indoor or outdoor use.
