Power First 50 ft. Indoor, Outdoor Lighted Extension Cord; Max Amps: 13.0, Number of Outlets: 1, Orange

Outdoor extension cords with a single outlet consist of flexible electrical cable with a plug at one end and a single receptacle at the other end. They are commonly used in outdoor applications to provide power where the power source is located some distance away from the device, such as with landscaping equipment. These cords have a durable jacket that resists abrasion and harsh weather conditions, making them more robust for outdoor applications than indoor extension cords.

Extension cords are a length of flexible electrical cable used to bring power to a device located up to 100 ft. away. They are typically used when a device's cord is too short to reach a power source, such as an electrical outlet, or where outlets may be scarce. They have a two- or three-prong plug at one end that connects to the power source and a molded outlet at the other end that devices plug into. Extension cords with a single outlet have a single receptacle, while cords with multiple outlets have two or more receptacles. In general, the more power needed by a device, the thicker the extension cord (or lower the gauge) needs to be to support the electrical current flowing through the cord. Extension cords are commonly used to provide temporary power in a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications.
