Voltage drops across a long cord.
lol this has nothing to do with anything. Over a 100' distance , it will only drop less than 5% because it's AC current - not DC. This also has nothing to do with the current. The current drawn depends on the input impedance of the load and the practical max current load is always going to be always has to be derated by 20% which is why a 15A breaker can supply a 12A load and on a 240V level 2 charger line a 60A breaker can reliably supply 48A RMS power

And it starts at the circuit breaker - not where you plug the cord into.

when i purchased this same cord last year it came coiled in a brown cardboard box, not wrapped in a southwire wrapper.

and, the cord is slightly thinner then the one that i got in a southwire cardboard wrapper.

also, the cord is bare yellow, no black writing on the cord like the one from the southwire cardboard wrapper.

The price on Amazon seems to fluctuate. It is $60 right now.

Have a couple of these. Good cords. Just aren't very flexible in the winter.
Amen to that -- I have an 80' 12/3 cord (Ridgid) which lives up to the brand name when it's cold.

Wrap a few sections with electrical tape. Gives appearance that your cable is frayed or damaged. People are less likely to steal it.

Almost pulled the trigger, but just read the following on a Garage Journal Forum "Ridgid and Southwire Extension Cords" thread and got an education:
"The reason these are so inexpensive is the type of insulation that was used. SJTW. It is thermoplastic. Better cords are SJOOW, use a synthetic rubber insulation that make them more flexible, especially in colder weather. Both of these cords are "weather resistant" but the more expensive one insulation is "oil resistant" on the inner and outer layers."
"If you live in an area that gets cold, I'd really avoid PVC or SJTW jacketed cords. They get super stiff once the temperature drops.
Look for SJOOW, SOOW, or SJEOW cord as mentioned. They will remain flexible even in extreme cold. I find that these cords also tend to hold up better than SJTW cords. "
"If flexibility is important to you and/or cord memory ie. becomes permanently twisted then avoid any cord composite that has "T" in the makeup. T = thermoplastic, which means it becomes stiff in cold weather and also is prone to warping over time."

This is a great price, got the same cord (different brand) in a deal for $45 from home depot in 2016
The lowest price is probably $27.59 in March 2021 which is what I paid at Amazon but I see that price is not shown at CCC (maybe there was a coupon, which CCC doesn't track). I think it was posted here on SD at the time but not sure. I almost wish I bought two at at price.
