SJTOW is a type of electrical wiring that is commonly used in various applications, including industrial and outdoor environments. It is a specific type of portable cord or cable designed to withstand various conditions.

Here's what SJTOW stands for and some key characteristics:

S - Service Grade: The "S" in SJTOW indicates that it is designed for general service use, making it suitable for various applications.


J - Junior Service: The "J" indicates that it is a type of junior service cord typically used for light to medium-duty applications.


T - Thermoplastic Insulation: The "T" signifies that the insulation material used in SJTOW cords is thermoplastic. This type of insulation provides good flexibility and resistance to various environmental factors.


O - Oil Resistant: The "O" means that SJTOW cords are resistant to oil, which makes them suitable for use in environments where exposure to oils or other petroleum-based substances may occur.


W - Weather/Water Resistant: The "W" indicates that SJTOW cords resist water and weather conditions. This makes them suitable for outdoor use and wet environments.


SJTOW wiring is often used for power tools, portable appliances, and other equipment requiring flexibility and durability in indoor and outdoor settings.

It's important to note that different types of cords and cables are designed for specific applications, so choosing the right type, such as SJTOW, depends on the intended use and the environmental conditions it will be exposed.

SJO is an electrical wiring commonly used for power and lighting applications.

It is a designated type of portable cord or cable comprising stranded conductors within a flexible insulation and jacket.

The "S" in SJO stands for "Service," indicating that it is designed for general service use.

The "J" signifies that the conductors are made of thermoplastic material, which is resistant to oil, and the "O" indicates that the outer jacket is also made of oil-resistant material.

SJO cables are often used in applications where flexibility is important, such as in portable power tools, appliances, and extension cords.

They are designed to withstand typical wear and tear in various environments, including those exposed to oils and chemicals.
