A portable cord, which is also known as portable cordage or flexible cord, is a cable with multiple conductors used for functions requiring flexibility. The bendable cord can be employed for power in a range of applications, such as operating motors in small and large tools, equipment, power extensions, appliances and machinery.
Even though portable cords are essentially safe, always handle them carefully. Breakage in a portable cord could be a potential hazard, so be certain equipment is running properly. A qualified person should inspect contractor-grade portable cords before and after each use to check for damage.
