C9 (E17) Cords and Spools
18 AWG cord guidelines
Maximum run: 250 feet or less on 18 AWG cord, including extension cords and branches. With C9 incandescent bulbs, the maximum is 200 feet.
Match the plug to the insulation: SPT-1 cord takes an SPT-1 Gilbert plug, and thicker SPT-2 cord takes an SPT-2 plug.
Total load: up to 10 amps / 1200 watts for 18 AWG cord.
These guidelines apply to our 18 AWG C7 and C9 cords. Our 25-foot cords are 20 AWG and connect no more than 2 in series.
