Explaining What Makes SO Cable Different From SOOW Cord
We have been at this for quite a long time and seemingly on a daily basis we are questioned what the differences are when comparing SO cable, SOW cable and SOOW cable. SO cable is the original form of this cable and was basically the original classification for what we see today as service cord. The S standing for service and the O standing for oil resistant Jacket. Over the years, as technology advanced the W was added to the original classification and that meant that the jacket was also now water resistant. The maximum voltage approval on any of the above cable types is 600 volts. If you need a higher voltage rating you would have to look into a Type W or maybe even a Type G cable. Each of these would be rated up to 2000 volts.
The modern day cable is now mostly known as SOOW cable. The newer version now sports both an oil resistant jacket in addition to oil resistant internal conductors. The W still represents a water resistant jacket. It is important to understand water and oil resistant and not water and oil proof. A lot of folks ask us if this cable can be used in applications where the material will be under water all the time. We do not recommend that you use the SOOW cable for this situation as that is not what it is made for. Think temporary power applications like stage lighting or temporary generator usage etc. If the jacket gets wet every now and then is much different than keeping it under water. This also is true of the oil resistant quality of the cable. It is not recommended to keep this cable covered in oil or any caustic material for that matter.
You can get SOOW cable in sizes ranging from 18 gauge in the smaller sizes up to 2 gauge at the bigger end. Number of conductors can be anywhere from 2 conductors up to 60 conductors depending on how big the cable in question is.
