Kh Industries Pendant Cable with Internal Strain Relief, Number of Conductors 3, 16 AWG, SOOW, 25 ft, Black

Pendant drop portable cord is a temporary service cord that contains multiple conductors enclosed in a thermoplastic jacket. It is installed as a branch off of ceiling cable and hangs down to provide power to a machine. Some pendant cord comes with strain relief, which prevents the weight of the connection from tearing the cord and protects it from damage. Pendant cable is typically used to power and transmit signals to pendants hanging from overhead cranes, hoists, and other types of lifting and handling equipment.

Portable cord is flexible, moveable electrical cable that consists of one or more insulated conductors enclosed in a jacket. It is typically used for temporary power connections. Portable cord can be exposed to constant flexing and harsh environmental conditions, including temperature extremes, oil, chemicals, and abrasive materials. There are multiple types of portable cord, as designated by industry standard letter codes that describe various attributes (temperature range, wire size) and ratings (voltage) and help ensure the best cord is selected for an application. Portable cord is commonly used for temporary wiring projects in industrial and commercial facilities, such as supplying power to portable tools, appliances, and equipment, as well as small motors and associated machinery. It does not include plugs on the ends of the cord.
