DuroMax 100-Foot 12 Gauge Triple Tap Extension Power Cord

The DuroMax XPC12100C 100-Foot 12-Gauge Triple Tap Extension Cord Delivers Bright, Dependable Outdoor Power

The DuroMax XPC12100C is a 100-foot, 12-gauge heavy-duty extension cord with three outlets at a lighted end. It carries 120V power at up to 15 amps through 100% copper wire for better power quality.

A bright yellow SJTW jacket is rated for outdoor use and stays visible on job sites and lawns, while reinforced blades help keep the plug prongs from bending. The cord is UL certified and rated from -40°F to 140°F.

DuroMax XPC12100C Features

12-Gauge 100% Copper Wire

12-gauge copper conductors handle most 15-amp tools and appliances with a lighter, more flexible cord than 10-gauge. For a 100-foot run, it is a practical balance of weight, flexibility and power delivery.

Triple Tap Lighted End

Three grounded outlets at the end let you run up to three tools, lights or appliances from one cord. The combined load must stay within the 15-amp, 1,875-watt rating.

The lighted end glows when the cord is energized, so you can confirm power at a glance.

Outdoor-Rated SJTW Jacket

The SJTW thermoplastic jacket is rated for outdoor use and handles temperatures from -40°F to 140°F. Its bright yellow color makes the cord easy to see and helps prevent tripping on busy sites.

Reinforced Blades, Grounded and UL Certified

Reinforced plug blades resist bending, and the grounded three-prong design and UL certification provide peace of mind.

100 Feet of Reach

At 100 feet, it reaches far corners of a property or job site, and lets you place a generator well away from doors and windows. The cord weighs 11 lbs.

Real-World Applications

Generators. Run power from a portable generator's 120V outlet to appliances, lights or tools, with enough length to keep the generator well away from your home.

Job sites. Power saws, drills, chargers and work lights where outlets are scarce.

Yard and garage. Run trimmers, blowers, pressure washers, pumps and holiday lights.

Events and camping. Bring power to tents, vendor booths and campsites.

How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus light-duty household cords. 14- and 16-gauge indoor cords are not built for outdoor use or high-draw tools. This heavy-duty 12-gauge cord handles both.

Versus the DuroMax blue XPX cords. The premium blue SJEOOW cords add oil and chemical resistance and stay flexible from -58°F to 221°F. The yellow SJTW cords are a value choice for general outdoor use.

Versus a 10-gauge cord. 10-gauge has less voltage drop over long runs, which matters most at 100 feet. 12-gauge is lighter and easier to handle.

Is the XPC12100C the Right Fit

• 15-amp limit. Keep the total load at or below 15 amps (1,875 watts) at 120V, across all three outlets combined.
• Not for 240V or 30A loads. To connect a generator to a home inlet box, use a 30A or 50A generator cord instead.
• Uncoil fully. Unroll the cord completely before running heavy loads to prevent heat buildup.
• Keep connections dry. Keep plug and outlet connections off the ground and out of standing water.

This may be a good fit if

• You need a 100-foot heavy-duty cord for tools, appliances or a generator
• You want three outlets at the end of one cord
• You want a high-visibility cord for outdoor work

Common Questions

Why Is a 12-Gauge Cord Rated at 15 Amps?

The rating is set by the standard 15-amp, three-prong plug and outlets. The 12-gauge wire helps reduce voltage drop over the cord's length.

Can I Use It With a Portable Generator?

Yes. Plug it into a 120V household outlet on your generator, and keep the generator outdoors, away from doors, windows and vents.

Is It Rated for Outdoor Use?

Yes. DuroMax lists it as outdoor rated, with an SJTW jacket.

What Warranty Does It Have?

DuroMax covers the XPC12100C with a 1-year parts and technical service warranty.
