100 ft Suspended Socket, Commercial Grade String Light Cord (medium/E26 base)

This suspended-style commercial grade string light cord has sockets that hang down from the wire for added charm. Two great heavy-duty string light cord options for outdoor installations. Create the outdoor space of your dreams with these commercial grade stringers! See below for complete product specifications (specifically 14AWG vs. 16AWG).

Ships in 3-5 business days.

*The key differences between the two cord options is the 14AWG cord allows you to run longer lengths, and it has a bit heavier duty wiring. The benefit to the 16AWG cord is it's robust enough for commercial use but light enough for easy installation (about 1/2 the weight of the 14AWG wire). Both cords provide heavy-duty construction and weather resistant sockets.

Product Details:

• Bulbs sold separately
• These strands CANNOT be plugged end-to-end. There is a standard plug on one end and the other end is capped off after last socket.
• For indoor or outdoor use. Suitable for permanent outdoor installation.
• High quality sockets form a snug, weather‐resistant seal around the bulb. You must keep a bulb in every socket to maintain weather-resistant quality.
• For IP64 rating (14AWG cord), any cut ends must be sealed with an end cap and/or electrical tape (ensure proper seal to preclude entrance of water).
• Keep bulbs/sockets at least 16 feet away from pools and spas.
• Install with bulbs facing downward.
• For spans longer than 20 feet (14AWG) or 25 feet (16AWG), use a steel cable guide wire.
• Suspended sockets drop a few inches down from the main wire (~4"), and allows for cables to be attached to the eyelets using zip ties or other similar accessories. The eyelet is perpendicular to the main wire.
