15FT NEMA 5-15P to ROJ 2IN Strip 1/4IN Power Cord 14/3 SJTW NA
The 15FT NEMA 5-15P to ROJ 2IN Strip 1/4IN Power Cord 14/3 SJTW NA is used with equipment that needs direct wire termination. It has a NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and a removed outer jacket (ROJ) termination with 1/4-inch stripped conductors on the other, and can easily connect to internal wiring or terminal blocks.
Constructed with 14/3 SJTW cable, the cord offers robust insulation and a reliable power supply. Its 15-foot length provides flexibility during the installation process, and the thermoplastic jacket can be used in both indoor and outdoor environments.
This configuration is generally used in industrial systems, equipment assemblies, and also electrical installations where stripped wire connections are necessary.

Construction and Plug Configuration
The cable construction is developed to be durable as well as to sustain stable electrical operation.
SJTW Thermoplastic Jacket
The cable is insulated with Service Junior Thermoplastic Weather-resistant (SJTW) insulation, which is used in power cords that are subjected to harsh conditions.
Benefits include:
- Protection against abrasion and wear
- Resistance to moisture and environmental exposure
- Flexible cable routing during installation
- Reliable insulation for electrical conductors
This thermoplastic jacket assists in preserving the integrity of the cables both outdoors and indoors.
14-Gauge Conductors
There are three 14-gauge copper conductors that sustain a steady power supply to the connected equipment.
The conductor arrangement comprises:
- Hot conductor for electrical current
- Neutral conductor for return current
- Ground conductor for safety grounding
This design assists in the sustainability of a reliable power supply to equipment and electrical systems.
Molded NEMA 5-15P Plug
The male end has a molded NEMA 5-15 plug, normally grounded and typically used in North American outlets.
Plug characteristics include:
- Standard three-prong NEMA 5-15 configuration
- Durable molded housing for improved strength
- Strain relief that reduces stress at the cable entry point
The NEMA 5-15 plug gives a secure connection to the standard power sockets. In a system with limited outlet clearance, a right angle plug adapter can be fitted to redirect the plug orientation.
ROJ Termination End
On the other end of the cable, the ROJ (Removed Outer Jacket) termination is used.
Configuration details include:
- 2 inches of the outer jacket are removed
- Individual conductors exposed for wiring
- 1/4-inch stripped conductor tips
This design allows direct connection to:
- Terminal blocks
- Internal wiring assemblies
- Control panels
- Equipment power inputs
Pre-stripped conductors simplify installation during equipment assembly or electrical integration.
Applications
This power cord is designed to support the installation of equipment that cannot be connected using detachable connectors.
- Equipment Power Connections: Used on those devices that have to be wired internally to a power source. It is appropriate for equipment that has terminal block power inputs and electrical systems incorporated in enclosures.
- Industrial Equipment: Widely used in control panels, machines, assembly equipment, and manufacturing machinery that demand a reliable power supply via direct wiring.
- Lighting Systems: Useful for the lighting fixtures that need a hard-wired power connection. It is also compatible with specialty lighting equipment and power distribution units in lighting installations.
- OEM Equipment Integration: Most commonly incorporated in appliances and electrical products during the manufacturing process. It is also employed in electronic assemblies that do not have a detachable connector and need a direct power input cord.
- Custom Electrical Installations: Suitable for projects that need direct cable termination and installations that achieve flexibility through the length of power cords. It may also be used to support system assemblies in which internal wiring connections are required.
The stripped conductor design enables the cord to be incorporated easily in the new equipment construction or the replacement construction.
Certifications and Safety
Electrical safety and compliance are important for equipment power cords. This cord carries recognized certification approvals confirming that it meets established electrical standards.
Approvals include:
- UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification
- CUL approval for Canadian compliance
These certifications indicate that the cord has been evaluated for electrical safety, insulation reliability, and conductor performance. The grounded NEMA 5-15P plug also provides a dedicated grounding path for safer operation.
Reliable Power Cord for Equipment Wiring
Choose this 15FT NEMA 5-15P to ROJ power cord with 14/3 SJTW cable for dependable equipment wiring and direct power connections. The molded NEMA 5-15P plug and stripped conductor termination support straightforward installation in industrial systems, equipment assemblies, and electrical applications.
FAQs
1. What is a NEMA 5-15P plug?
A NEMA 5-15P plug (5-15P) is a standard three-prong plug used with NEMA 5-15 outlets in North America for 120-volt power connections.
2. What does ROJ mean on a power cord?
ROJ (Removed Outer Jacket) means part of the cable jacket is removed to expose internal wires. This cord has 2 inches of exposed wires with 1/4-inch stripped ends for direct wiring.
3. What is SJTW cable?
SJTW cable stands for Service Junior Thermoplastic Weather-Resistant. It is designed for durable power cords and supports both indoor and light outdoor use.
