SO Cord Designations
See the table below for a simple breakdown of common SO cable letter designations.
| Designation | What this means |
| S | Service grade. Extra hard service when not followed by J, P, or V. |
| J | Hard service. |
| V | Vacuum cleaner cord and light duty cable. |
| P | Parallel cord (also known as zip cord). Light duty only. |
| E | Thermoplastic elastomer (UL/NEC designation only) |
| O | Oil resistant* |
| T | Thermoplastic |
| W | Outdoor. Sunlight-resistance jacket, wet location rated conductors. Formerly "W-A." |
| H | Flame retardant |
| VW-1 | Flame retardant |
* When one ""O"" is in a designation (for example, ""SJOW""), only the outer jacket material is oil resistant. If there are two ""O's"" are in the classification (such as ""SOOW""), both the outer jacket and conductor insulation are oil resistant.
