6 ft 14 AWG 3-Conductor SJT Power Cord, NEMA 5-15P to Bare Wire | H3S14AWG
H3S14AWG 6 ft 14 AWG SJT Power Cord is a heavy-duty 3-conductor black AC power pigtail designed for field termination, custom power distribution, and equipment repairs. Featuring a standard NEMA 5-15P male plug on one end and stripped bare-wire leads on the other, this 14-gauge power cord provides reliable, continuous AC line power for industrial machinery, electrical enclosures, appliances, and OEM builds.
Installation Warning: This is an open-end AC power pigtail and not a finished plug-and-play extension cord. The bare-wire end requires proper termination by a qualified electrician or installer using suitable connectors, strain relief, proper grounding, and code-compliant electrical enclosures. Never energize exposed bare conductors.

Electrical Selection & Safety Guidelines
- Ampacity & Load Calculation: The 300V designation represents the cable insulation voltage rating, not maximum continuous current capacity. Final ampacity depends on conductor temperature ratings, ambient environment, enclosure thermal limits, and NEC / local electrical codes.
- Proper Wire Identification: Ensure correct wiring connections during installation: Line/Hot (Black), Neutral (White), and Safety Ground (Green). Always maintain grounding continuity to the equipment chassis.
- Strain Relief & Protection: Always install an approved strain relief bushing or cable gland where the cable enters an enclosure to prevent wire fatigue and electrical short circuits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with the H3S14AWG power cord?
It includes a 6 ft 14/3 SJT heavy-duty black power cable pre-terminated with a molded NEMA 5-15P 3-prong male plug on one end and stripped bare conductors on the opposite end.
Can this cord be used as a standard AC extension cord?
No. It does not have a female socket. The open bare-wire end must be wired inside an electrical enclosure, switch, terminal block, or appliance.
What does SJT 300V mean?
SJT indicates a thermoplastic-insulated service cord designed for light to medium-duty hard usage. The 300V rating specifies the maximum voltage capability of the wire insulation.
Is this cable UL listed?
Yes, the cable assembly uses UL-approved raw materials and construction designed for reliable power transmission.
