[QUOTE="John Halliburton, post: 65839, member: 8"] Re: Correct Cable For Temporary Use? I'm a fan of Coleman Cable too, and most of my AC cordage is 12/3 SOOW, just because I got good pricing on 500' spools. As an apprentice electrician years ago, one of the shop's customers was HQ up in North Chicago too. They own Royal Cable now too. Here's their explanation and definition of the coding on portable cable: [url=http://www.colemancable.com/support/faq-technical-specs/faq-portable/]Wire and Cable Portable Cord FAQ | Coleman Cable, Inc.[/url] Why fuss? Buy the SOOW first, it'll hold up better in the long run. I actually have some stage quads using 12/3 or 14/3 SJ because it is thinner and easier to dress. Hubbell connectors definitely. Best regards, John [/QUOTE]
