Portable Cord & Control Cable

Cole Wire is a trusted source for high-quality portable cord and control cable, offering one of the most comprehensive in-stock selections in the industry. We carry a full range of 600V cords—including SOOW, SEOOW, ST, STO, and STOOW—as well as 300V options like SJ, SJO, SJOOW, SJT, SJTW, and SJTOW, available in configurations from 2 to 60 conductors. Our flexible, oil- and weather-resistant cables are ideal for powering portable tools, equipment, small motors, and stage lighting systems. We also offer white portable cords that provide a clean, low-profile appearance to blend seamlessly with white walls and ceilings, making them perfect for hospitals, museums, retail stores, indoor athletic facilities, schools, and government buildings. The white jacket resists scuffing on high-gloss flooring, preserving pristine environments. For more demanding applications, Cole Wire stocks robust control cables rated for tray use, direct burial, and hazardous locations—including VNTC, XHHW-TC/XLP-TC, and FR-EPR/CPE—engineered for long-term durability and reliable performance indoors and outdoors. Custom coloring and printing of company or job names on white or standard cords are also available.

Specific Applications:
Portable cords serve temporary or mobile power needs in tools, portable equipment, stage lighting, appliances, and construction sites. Control cables are used in industrial automation, power distribution, lighting, signal and relay circuits, telemetering, and traffic control systems. Tray-rated control cables are suited for wireways, troughs, ducts, and conduit—indoors or outdoors, in wet or dry environments, and hazardous locations requiring Class 1 or 2, Division 1 or 2 approvals.
