XB895 - 50ft Arctic Blue Cold Weather Extension Cord with Locking End

Industrial Grade Cold Weather Power Distribution

The Techniweld XB895 is a high-performance 50-foot extension cord engineered specifically for challenging industrial environments where standard vinyl cords fail. Distinguished by its signature "Arctic Blue" jacket, this cord is constructed using a specialized SJEOW thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compound. This material science allows the cord to maintain exceptional flexibility in extreme temperatures ranging from -58°F (-50°C) up to 221°F (105°C). Unlike generic PVC cords that become rigid, coil-prone, and susceptible to cracking in the cold, the XB895 remains pliable, ensuring ease of deployment and retraction even in the dead of winter.

Beyond its thermal properties, the XB895 addresses a common failure point in MRO and fabrication workflows: accidental disconnection. The female connector end is equipped with a locking mechanism that securely grips the male plug of connected power tools. This feature ensures continuous power delivery to grinders, drills, and saws, mitigating downtime caused by plugs pulling loose when the cord is dragged across the shop floor. The connector design is robust, built to withstand the mechanical stress of daily industrial use.

Durability is central to the XB895's design. The SJEOW rating indicates that the cord is Service-grade, Hard-service, Oil-resistant (both jacket and insulation), and Weather-resistant. This makes it impervious to common shop contaminants such as cutting fluids, grease, and water, while also resisting degradation from UV exposure when used outdoors. The bright blue color serves a dual purpose: it identifies the cord as a cold-weather specific tool and provides high visibility on cluttered job sites, reducing tripping hazards and preventing accidental damage from vehicular traffic or heavy machinery. For facility managers and safety officers, the XB895 represents a reliable, compliant solution for temporary power distribution in harsh conditions.
