Overview
This Amazon Basics cord is a 50 foot indoor/outdoor extension with a grounded 3-prong plug, 16 gauge all-copper wire, and an orange vinyl jacket, ETL certified and rated to 13 amps, 1625 watts and 125VAC.
The vinyl jacket is positioned to resist moisture, abrasion and direct sunlight, which along with the 3-prong grounded plug is what lets Amazon Basics call this suitable for both indoor and outdoor jobs. At 50 feet it's meant to reach further than a typical indoor cord, covering yard work, power tools and general lighting.
