SOOW vs SJOOW Cable
SOOW (Service Oil/Water Resistant) and SJOOW (Junior Service Oil/Water Resistant) are both types of portable cable. The main difference between SOOW and SJOOW are their respective voltage ratings. The “J” in SJOOW stands for “junior”, referring to the lower voltage rating.
SOOW cable can handle up to 600 volts and has a thicker jacket. In contrast, SJOOW cable is a lighter choice for up to 300 volts. This makes SJOOW cable suitable for moderate use and a great option for tasks that don’t need the durability and voltage rating of SOOW cable.
SOOW and SJOOW Portable Cable Applications
As SOOW cable is rated to handle 600 volts, it’s a great choice for heavy-duty tasks and is often found in industrial equipment and machinery, as well as in outdoor tools. SOOW cable is widely utilized by those in the construction industry and is built for power and durability. On the other hand, SJOOW cable, rated for 300 volts, is perfect for portable tools, small motors, and temporary lighting, and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
