* Types SVO, SVTO, SJO, SJOOW, SJTO, SO, SOOW, STO HSJO and HSO have jackets which are also recognized for oil resistance at maximum temperature of 60C. Types SJ, SJO, SJT, SJTO, S, SO, ST and STO may also be printed as “OOW” infering an oil resistant insulation and an oil resistant and moisture resistant jacket. Acceptable for indoor/outdoor use. 3-wire SJT may be made in special low-leakage constructions for medical equipment cords.

** Where no jacket is shown, the construction is integral or flat style with insulation also serving as jacket.

*** For cordage ratings higher than 60C, the temperature limit is printed on the outside of the jacket. This does not apply to heater cordage type HPN, rated 90C or 105C. Also, for heater cordage types HSJ, HSJO, HS and HSO, the core is rated 90C while temperature printed on outside applies only to jacket.

1 Recognized in three conductors where third or center conductor (with green of treen/yellow stripe) is used for equipment grounding.

2 Insulation and jacket thickness depend on cordage size. Thickness shown are for 18 and 16 AWG.

3 Insulation and jacket thickness depend on cordage size. No. 12 AWG requires .030” conductor insulation thickness and .045” jacket thickness. No. 10 AWG requires .045” conductor insulation thickness and .060” jacket thickness.

Chlorosulfonated polyethylene and other UL Listed materials may be used as jacketing material for such cordage as SVO, SJO, SO and HPN to provide oil resistance and/or colors with excellent stability in all shades.

NOTE Types TPT, SPT-1, SPT-2, SPT-3, HPN (two conductors only) and SVO, SVT, SJO, SJT, SO and ST may be made in retractile form.

The term Elastomer refers to thermoplastic elastomer.
