SO CABLE DIAMETERS

SO cable diameters may change depending on the type of equipment you are looking to operate. Powering up a light show? Increase the diameter. Need to supply a small generator with power? Decrease the diameter. Pay attention to the conductor number when purchasing SO cable. It’s an optimum way to ensure you purchase the correct product.

A popular SO cable we sell is 6/4, which stands for 6 gauge, 4 conductor cable. Keep in mind that welding cable has only a single conductor, while SO and SOOW may have multiple conductors.

Many generators run on 6/4 SO cable, and it is used for other applications as well, including (but not limited to): circuits, construction equipment and power tools. The product is so sound that we’ve ensured that all our 6/4 SO inventory is approved by the Mine Safety Health Administration (MSHA). Coal mine inspectors know to look for this insignia, as it indicates a product that is extra-flexible, oil, water and ozone resistant, and ideal for indoor and outdoor use.
