WEN 50 ft 14/3 SJTW Extension Cord Reel with Lighted Outlet

The WEN 50 ft 14-gauge SJTW extension cord reel delivers heavy-duty, weather-resistant power with a lighted NEMA 5-15R outlet and fast, tidy storage.

Keep reliable power where you need it: this 50-foot WEN extension cord on an integrated reel combines a durable 14/3 SJTW cable, an illuminated standard receptacle, and weather-rated insulation so you can run tools and appliances indoors or outside with clearer visibility and easier handling. The reel helps prevent tangles and speeds cleanup, while the lighted outlet shows when the line is energized.

How does the lighted outlet make projects simpler?

The built-in light around the NEMA 5-15R outlet gives an instant visual cue that the cord is receiving power, reducing guesswork when you plug in tools or equipment. This is especially useful in dim garages, early-morning starts, or low-light job sites.

• Lighted NEMA 5-15R shows when power is live
• Simplifies troubleshooting connections
• Useful for low-light or outdoor evening tasks

Is this cord suitable for outdoor use and cold conditions?

Yes — the cable uses SJTW-rated vinyl thermoplastic insulation designed to resist moisture and remain flexible in colder temperatures. That makes it appropriate for yard work, jobsite tools, and seasonal outdoor tasks without becoming stiff and hard to manage.

• SJTW weather-resistant jacket for outdoor exposure
• Remains flexible in low temperatures for easier handling
• Protects conductors from abrasion and light moisture

Will the 14-gauge 14/3 cord deliver enough power for my tools?

The 14 AWG, 3-conductor (14/3) cable supports up to 15 amps, which covers most handheld power tools, compressors, vacuums, worklights, and common household appliances. It balances current capacity with flexibility for practical jobsite and home use.

• 14-gauge conductors support up to 15 amps
• Three-conductor wiring for grounding and safety
• 50-foot length extends reach without multiple connectors

How does the reel improve storage and transport?

The integrated reel keeps the long cable neat and quick to deploy: crank the cord back onto the spool after use to avoid knots, reduce wear, and make the unit easier to carry between locations. The compact reel design protects the cable while saving space in a garage or truck.

• Fast manual rewind keeps cable tangle-free
• Compact form factor for easier transport and storage
• Reel reduces cable wear and extends service life
