Explaining What Makes SO Cable Different From SOOW Cable
Delco has been at this for quite a long time and hardly a day goes by that we are not asked what the difference is when comparing SO cable, SOW cable and SOOW cable. SO cable is the original form of this cable and was basically the original classification for what today is known as service cord. The S stands for service and the O stands for oil resistant Jacket. Over the years, as technology advanced the W was added to the original classification and that meant that the jacket was also now water resistant. The maximum voltage rating on any of the above cable types is 600 volts. If you must have a higher voltage rating you would need to look at a Type W or maybe even a Type G cable. Both of those would be rated up to 2000 volts.
The modern day version is now mostly known as SOOW cable. The newer type now sports both an oil resistant outer sheath in addition to oil resistant inner conductors. The W still stands for a water resistant outer sheath. It is important to understand water and oil resistant and not water and oil proof. A lot of folks inquire if this cable is recommended for situations where the material will be submersed in water all the time. We do not recommend that you use the SOOW cable for this situation as this is not what it is made for. Think transitory power applications like stage lighting or portable generator use etc. If the jacket gets wet every now and then is much different than keeping it under water. The same thing applies to the oil resistant quality of the cable. It is not advisable to keep this cable submerged in oil or any caustic material for that matter.
You can get SOOW cable in sizes ranging from 18 gauge at the small end up to 2 gauge at the bigger end. Number of conductors can be anywhere from 2 conductors up to 60 conductors based on the size of the cable in question.
