Hubbell CS50EXT5 100A 50' 5 Wire 120/208V Extension Cord
Hubbell CS50EXT5 100A 50' 5 Wire 120/208V Extension Cord — Product description
Why the Hubbell CS50EXT5 Stands Out for Marine Shore Power
Boat owners know the frustration of reaching a dock only to find your shore power cable falls short. Enter the Hubbell CS50EXT5—a rugged 50-foot extension cord engineered specifically for high-demand marine environments. This 100A, 120/208V powerhouse uses 4-pole, 5-wire STOW cable in 2 AWG thickness, rated for 105°C operation. Its bright yellow jacket isn't just for visibility; it's a corrosion-resistant shield built to withstand saltwater spray, UV exposure, and constant flexing from tidal movements.
Unlike generic cords that overheat or fail under load, this extension mates seamlessly with your existing Hubbell shore power setup, delivering full 100A capacity without voltage drop. Picture docking your yacht at a busy marina: no more repositioning or risky adapters. It's factory-assembled for flawless terminations, UL-listed, and ABYC-compliant, ensuring every connection is as reliable as the day it's made.
Real-World Benefits for Serious Boaters
- Unmatched Durability: Specially compounded STOW cable resists oil, abrasion, and chemicals common in marinas. High-visibility yellow makes it easy to spot on deck, reducing trip hazards.
- Full-Power Performance: Handles 100A continuously, perfect for running air conditioning, heavy appliances, or multiple circuits on larger vessels. The 5-wire design supports balanced 120/208V three-phase power, ideal for boats with isolation transformers.
- Quality You Can Trust: Each unit undergoes 100% inspection and testing. Hubbell pioneered 100A pin-and-sleeve standards alongside the National Electric Code and ABYC—no compromises on safety or compliance.
- Versatile Extension: At 50 feet, it bridges the gap from pedestal to boat without excess length that tangles or drags. Pairs perfectly with Hubbell's 75- or 100-foot main cables for total flexibility.
- Easy Handling: Lightweight yet stout construction means one person can deploy it quickly, even in rough conditions.
I've seen lesser cords melt under summer loads or crack after one season—the CS50EXT5 laughs that off, thanks to its superior materials and construction.
Pro Tips for Maximizing Your CS50EXT5
Coil it loosely after use to prevent kinks—store on a ventilated reel away from direct sun. Before connecting, inspect pins for corrosion (a quick wipe with a marine contact cleaner works wonders). Always match your boat's power config: this 5-wire model shines for 120/208V systems with neutral, avoiding ground faults that plague mismatched setups.
For multi-boat slips or floating docks, its length hits the sweet spot. And remember, proper strain relief at both ends prevents wiggling connections that lead to arcing—Hubbell's watertight seals handle the rest.
Safety first: Never exceed 100A draw, and use GFCI-protected pedestals. This cord's design minimizes resistance, keeping connections cool even on hot days.
Technical Edge That Sets It Apart
Hubbell doesn't cut corners. The #2 AWG conductors ensure minimal voltage drop over 50 feet, maintaining power quality for sensitive electronics. 105°C rating means it outperforms standard 90°C cords in engine rooms or tight bilge runs. Corrosion-resistant contacts stay bright, reducing resistance buildup over time.
Compared to 4-wire options (like the CS50EXT4 sibling), the extra ground/neutral wire provides superior fault protection for modern vessels—essential if you're upgrading from older 50A systems.
